1970 2002 Factory Restoration

I personally love the group 2 look.
Group 5 would be way to aggressive for the street, but maybe you could do a slightly less aggressive version of those box flares.

Do a Google search for BMW 2002 group 2 and group 5. Group 2 is more street friendly.

Group 2



Group 5


Random other stuff



I know there is a company in Germany that still makes the group 2 and 5 body kits.
Or you could make cardboard/poster board templates and then transfer them to metal.

Moar!

I'm no body man, but box flares would look pretty good, and it looks like you have the skills to make them.

People of r3v, i need opinions on flares... mock up... I think they suck.....







Back to square one






Need help making cosmetically nice flares.... any options? or know anyone?

[knuklehead92]

Nice work! I assume you plan on streeting it that's why the cage stops at the firewall. Any plans for increasing rigidity a bit through the unibody?

Yea basically, I thought about a cage....... Still debating

Soo I have decided to make a new thread. The old one is so long and bleh.....

For those of you who don't know I bought a 1970 2002 a while back...

Before





After loads of rust and learning how to weld, I semi-completed the car in Jan-Feb w/s52 swap, It was fun for a bit. I even took it to auto-x and did well for my first time out on the car.






Long story short, the car still needed more work. I have decided to strip the car down and attempt to go for something different.



So the flares are going

everything else is going....

I got new meat...



I got a wrecked ap2 s2000 that will be my donor for suspension and engine.

today's progress

Note, interior paint is temporary. Its just to prevent temporary rust.
