Have had three of these wonderful cars and still have a memory of their unique smell, gave my 73 too a young lady mechanic because I admired her passion
After all my hours that I put in here beforehand to weld in new pieces like new nose welded on , boot floor and rear panel , floor panels , inner wings, a-posts, outer sills , rear sills , rear quarter panel lower parts , rear axles .... ( see on my older videos ) ,I am really satisfied that I am over this milestone and finally make the chassis look so nice.... It was all worth it !!! To everyone working on a project good luck☘and keep going you will get there 💪
Would it not have been quicker to have it chemically dipped, to go down to bare metal with a DA, must have taken ages, I have done a few restorations, tr6, Vauxhall vx490, bmw 3 series 2.8 convertable presently a classic mini, that will not be getting finished, and will be selling ASAP, looks good😂
I always remember the time just around 1970. I was just a boy age 5 and my father drove a 2002 tii. First a red one with the round backlights and later one with the square lights at the back. At that time there was no speed limit in the Netherlands. These cars were something special, ahead of their time. I later owned a 323i E21 & E30 325 E30 & Touring E30 but the 2002 is the ultimate for me. If your car is finished it will be close to perfection I think .
thanks for your story , love hearing those stories. I then try to imagine myself in the street scene back then, I can see that nice looking red tii passing by like that :) thanks for sharing this and I must say you definitely had good taste in cars !
Outstanding!! You should be extremely proud, Your skills are on a complete different level than everyone else. Very much looking forward to the continuing videos. 👌👌.
What? you obviously don't know how many hours I put into this beforehand to weld in new pieces to make it look like this , just look at all my older videos, new nose welded on , boot floor and rear panel , floor panels , inner wings, a-posts, outer sills , rear sills , rear quarterpanel lower parts , rear axels , ....😉
oh mein Gott deine Hände müssen bluten bei der ganzen schleiferei. absolut fantastische Arbeit und für mich Lehreich danke dafür und weiter so. Perfekt work incredible 👍.
Hey thanks !!! No this one is not ready yet , there are parts on the way from mvp parts ! Within here and a month there should be a video online then ;) grtz
Don't worry about it , I have also had it for 7 years now 🙈 , it is also a project from me , a hobby. And I can only work on it occasionally too...but one day I will be there and for you that day will come too if you keep going for it 💪😉
Oh leuk weer is wat te zien van je project, ik vroeg me al af hoe het verder verliep :-) De overgang van de schermen naar de neus werd altijd gelast en daarna gevuld met soldeer lood/tin en ook daarmee afgewerkt.
Ja inderdaad , maar dit wil ik bewust niet doen vind het wel handig om ze eenvoudig te kunnen demonteren ( indien nodig ) en aangezien hij toch niet origineel meer is met die turbo verbreding zal het dan daar niet op komen 😉
@@Restorezone I was wondering the same thing. Thanks so much for making these videos! I am about to start the restoration of my 1602 and your channel is extremely helpful!
Ik snap je beweegredenen, maar ondanks je de voorkantjes soldeer zijn ze nog steeds vrij makkelijk te demonteren. Of je nou een kit naadje los snijd of je tin even verwarmd met een brandertje. En je stopt zo veel werk in, en zeer puik werk in je autootje je bent echt een vak man. Je loopt nergens de kantjes er vanaf. Persoonlijk vind ik het neusje af als die naadloos overloopt in de voor schermen. Maar dat is persoonlijk natuurlijk. En het beschermd beter tegen vocht en daardoor ook tegen roest. Maar laat de filmpjes maar komen ik geniet er van. Heb van de zomer de nieuwe (performance) motor gehangen. Heb er maar twee keer mee gereden. Heb gewoon te weinig tijd om hem af te stellen en de puntjes op de i te zetten. Hopelijk van de winter dan maar. Succes!
Great stuff and hope you come to South Africa and open a company. I am also building up a mark 2 Kent Ford. Love your brilliant work. God bless. Vetri South 🙏🇿🇦🙏
Thanks! This is the only thing I did not remove, Has been on it for 50 years now and the whole surrounding area looked good, will probably last another 50 years 😁 good luck with your restoration ! 💪
Sieht klasse aus! Allerdings habe ich hinten rechts(um das Rücklicht) am Übergang zum hinteren Seitenteil den Eindruck, daß das irgendwie noch nicht richtig "smooth" ist. Wirkt etwas eingedellt. Ist aber vielleicht auch nur das Licht... Glückwunsch zu dem Projekt!
i been on simillar journey...Did car that required a lot of job with no previous experience..It took me more than half a year to finish it...Very stressfull process
Você fez tudo certo, só errou na hora de jogar primer direto na lata,antes do prime precisa aplicar o wash primeiro que e a base do prime,e você viu no lixamento que tinha essa base de fábrica ,teria que aplicar de novo,a pintura fica ótima só não dura!!!!
I really enjoy your videos and level of craftsmanship. I’m working on a 73 Tii and doing much of the same jobs as you. Just curious, are you intending to braze the front fenders to the grille?
Thanks 🙏, no normally not since there is turbo widening on it anyway it is not original anyway, and is then easier to take off if needed 😁Good luck with your project too 💪
Hallo, hätte da eine Frage und zwar wollte ich einmal wissen, ob du auf der EP Grundierung gespachtelt hast, oder hast du diese vorher nochmal abgeschliffen und auf das blanke Blech gespachtelt? Hatte Mal in einen deiner Kommentare gesehen, dass du Deutsch geschrieben hast. If German ist nit your mothertongue please let me know, so that i can write IT in english. Liebe Grüße
let's just take english ;) I did indeed put putty on my epoxy ( of course also sanding the area to be treated a bit so that your putty sticks to it.. ) and that may well be that once here and there you're through and on exposed metal after putting several coats on.... But I try, if possible as little as possible on exposed metal for older cars.... ( and they do say yes putty also has rust inhibiting factors but one putty is not the other putty I don't fully trust that ) With newer cars this is a different story... the sheet metal is already much better treated and better rust resistant than before.... One more tip. always try to knock out all those deepest dents as best as possible before ! you put it in that epoxy. I'm sure you understand this ;) good luck !
This was honestly an in between solution ( the Ghibli is my vacuum cleaner for vacuuming cars ) , vacuum hose is way too thick is also not antistatic and clunky and I had to put a spacer to get on the sander , also I put an extra filter bag in the vacuum cleaner so the motors wouldn't break down from all that fine dust. The sander itself is way too heavy for this work , now I use a festool ctl mini vacuum cleaner with a mirka deros sander , you can also go for the festool sander is what you prefer yourself
It is a coating that seals of the metal for oxygen. Through primer, oxygen can penetrate, not through epoxy. In Holland, somebody did his Alfa 33 with it, and about 25 after that restauration, the car is still rust free.
To older cars, it is certainly not bad to put an epoxy on first because the metal has not yet been treated as well as the newer cars and because an epoxy primer has the best! rust protection, the body of the car is protected from the formation of corrosion, rust and oxidation. And you are sure of a good base layer that you can work on. Then putty, and primer or filler primer ... the second as the name says just fill even more (extra thick) so you are sure if you still have sanding scratches or unevennesses to fill and also something to protect, if you use this on newer cars after your filler work is normal and you do this well , grtz
@@Restorezone thanks for quick reply i will defenitely try this on my old Lada when i sandblast it.Any good quality brands you can recommend for paints primers etc...?
I'm just not a fan of that , it stinks, it doesn't work as well as it used to , it's a dirty mess, those who want to use it do so... everyone has their own way and I prefer to do it this way 😉
Oops there I wrote a mistake , too late can't change it now .. actually my last step was 280 before the epoxy , and the epoxy was then done with 320, To then get ready for primer ... Another question what do you use it for ? Because there is a difference in that because if it is in construction on bare steel yes then it is 80 to 120 But on galvanized metal you may even go up to 400 according to me prescribed table! which I then personally find too fine too ...
@@Restorezone we do high end restorations on cars in Australia Porsch / Vw / Ferrari ect, we have them acid dipped then once all metalwork is complete we sand the entire car down with a combination of 80grit & 3Mclean&strip wheels in preparation for epoxy, so we can the. Start the filler work stage. If you have any questions feel free to ask 👍🏽👍🏽

Welcome back to UA-cam. You have been missed. Thank you for taking the time to share your work. All the best.
Thank you ! I wish I had more time and could work on it every day but one day I will get there too 💪😉
Great Job. My first car in 1983 was a 1972 BMW 2002. If one day you will sell it, let me know. Waiting for the next Video!!
Very interesting channel! Cool content. Good luck with the restoration! Greets!
Thanks! ,I really appreciate it. Grtz
@@Restorezone We are restoring/building a car as well on our channel and I know… it’s a lot of work! Keep posting!
My late father in law had a 2002 back in 1973. It was a delightful wee car; looked great and did the business for it's class.
Outstanding!! You should be extremely proud, Your skills are on a complete different level than everyone else. Very much looking forward to the continuing videos. 👌👌.
I like the orange!
Man,the 2002 was a beautiful car. Great era in BMW history. The 3.0cs was my favorite though. This will be a great driver.
I am also a lover of those 3.0cs 😍 and thanks !
It's awesome! My absolute favorite BMW
Brilliant!!! Amazing to watch a master at work 🙌 👏
Such a clean rust free body makes the job very easy.

From the UK, your workmanship is sublime, an very informative 💪👌
Can't wait to see this in full colour 🔥🔥
Thanks ! Can't wait either 🙌 But it's getting closer little by little 😉

Superb!
Awesome and gorgeous! I'm working on my '72 O2, and this is my next step. How did you remove that gas cap locking ring?
Thanks! This is the only thing I did not remove, Has been on it for 50 years now and the whole surrounding area looked good, will probably last another 50 years 😁 good luck with your restoration ! 💪
Amazing.
Will anyone make a baremetal one with only a clearcoat?

Hi guys where are you based if you don't mind me asking? Please 👍 excellent channel, stumbled across it and I am glad too 👌 new subscriber
I live in belgium, and I just do this as a hobby if I can work on it once in a while ... 😉 and thanks ! 🙏
The rust underneath the rear quarter panel can be a disaster. It’s also very hard to get rid of.
Super!👌👌....
Exelente tu trabajo y que hermoso coche! Un sueño
amazing job but it might have been easier to dip it.
Super práce chlape ❤❤❤
I kinda like this look. Just little hints of color.
Well I totally get you, I have just the same , still think it looks cool that way 😁

Chemical dipping work perfect to strip car to bare metal
I know that too but , The point is that I want to do everything myself 😉
Excelente trabalho , parabéns
Bravo....top

Is that a shop-vac with sander attachment or sander with shop-vac attachment ? or One-for-all garage sander? brand?

What is this epoxy stuff that you spray first i have not heard of it i usually do it filler primer paint

Sanding seems primitive but it sure beats warped panels!
Why didn’t use paint stripper?
I'm just not a fan of that , it stinks, it doesn't work as well as it used to , it's a dirty mess, those who want to use it do so... everyone has their own way and I prefer to do it this way 😉
dobra robota
320 is too smooth for proper epoxy adhesion also , I do this for a living

You should... had to strip paint chemically - that car is so precious/valuable that it deserve the best treatment
Not good
