It’s been a while since I updated my friends on the progress of the restoration of my 1969 BMW 2002 that was originally started in late 2004.  It was supposed to take 3 months and I would have been driving it just in time for the weather to get warmer in 2005.  The shop that has been doing the restoration delayed the effort significantly for reasons outside of my control and as a result I’m getting a bargain basement price for a complete restoration. 

Anyway, lots of things have changed since I blogged about it last.

There’s still minor electrical work that needs to be completed to fix the hack job of the previous owner.  And I might need to dig up a better dashboard from the pile of ‘02s that this restoration shop has.

You can view all of my previous BMW 2002 photographs on Flickr here.

Here are my previous posts about the ‘02.
