Rust be GONE!!!!! Argh!

Here some pics from the beginning, there was alot fo work done over many years ... to get to this point.

Just to give you an idea I had to replace both rockers completely!! Most would of just gotten another shell but since this is an early 1600-2 shell it is actually 200lbs. lighter and no sunroof also is nice! Not to mention it's interesting history with BMW NA.

My vin# as confirmed by BMW mobile tradition is 1 of 357 1602's to ever make it to USA!

But most are not this brave to try to save all this rust....but I did! Call me crazy!

here is a sample of all the rust I removed.....

A-pillar.....gone!
inside the rockers

WE literally went to a junkyard in sun valley and cut up a large portion of a late model green 2002 to make the transplant. You can see where the incsions were made.....the donor car was green.
the cut line as seen on the inside of the rear quarter panel.


Good times ! RUST SUX !
