My 2002's resurrection - 56k go die

[deutschman]

You started the 2002 project up again brosef? I am moving to San Rafael right of Lucas Valley Dr. or what ever it is called. Ill be in your neighborhood. If you ever need any help again give me a shout.

I wish :( but you did anyway. Lol

I was starting work on it for the rear panel and trunk floor replacement, before I do the quarters, then literally a day or two later my e30 got totalled. I have since been working on my new e30 to get something to drive :( Believe me, if my e30 wasnt hit January 9th, thats a lot of time, I would have had at least those two panels in place and working on the quarters by now. Once "e30 project" is on the road, the 02 will be put in express mode.

bump?

You won't regret it...

[Justin B]

Yeah, a fabrication only project forum would be really cool. Infact I am thinking about selling my parilla for a cr125. Ive had my fun and winnings with the single speed ;)

[e46s54dr]

Ahhhh.... Nice, Crg was my second guess. I use to have a Margay with a watercooled cr125. I miss that damn thing. Shifter Karts are the ultimate race cars! Top performance in every aspect. Btw, your build thread is awesome. We need a welding and fabrication section so people including myself can post up their work.

Ok since I'm already taking pics, I took some more.

the old metal used to be here

Here's the old piece of shit patch

And the metal that will be used for a good new piece


Some progress in the last couple of days..

[Justin B]

Definitely not :) crg kali 32mm shifter chassis I used for road racing, parilla leopard 125cc. A little over 100mph entering turn 10 at sears point/infineon with a draft.

hpv powered birel?

[Justin B]

yeah, its taking me some time to get the potion right so to speak. Posting from my new droid in my new shop, but anyway I just had a big long message written out and r3v decided not to work when I hit sand so here's some cliff notes.

Car is at my shop, and the hack firewall patch has ben removed, including the metal to the transmission tunnel that was rusted out from the heater box.

Still contemplating what to do with the quarters, but the nose job is next. Once the patch is in I will rehang the doors and bring my new fenders and nose down to align the front just right, then it is time go the rear. At least now I have room to work on it, and some money but rent is there. Buy my shirts! It helps :)

More pictures soon, but here is a teaser...though I did post it in the cell phone picture thread too,

I'm eager for updates on this project too!

[Mike The Bavarian]

no up dates?
my car repair is going so slow! i am having a really hard time welding body parts with my mig welder. just keep burning wholes threw shit. wish i knew how to tig weld, and had a tig welder. any tips for what to do? maybe smaller wire or something?

smaller wire would help. less heat and if your heat is already low slow down the wire speed.

but UPDATE THIS!
