My Vision and a vision of what is

This is one of my Visions of what the little BMW will look like. Well here is a picture to Motovate me this is one look i like on the old BMW's I shaved the door handels and side markers in Photoshop I am going to photoshop this picture some more change the wheels and mabey lower it. I like the turbo spoiler up front and the turbo style flares. This should help me get excited about the work ahead.


This is how the car looks right now...


There are many things that need to be done before the 1600 will be back on the road. I am making a list of stuff that needs to be done in stage one

Stage one: Get Car running and street legal

This will include flushing the fuel system. Installing a radiator, new battery checking all the fuses that are missing. install a shift lever the one out of the 2002 may fit. I need to find 4 good tires and rims out of the lot that i got with the cars. Change the oil and filters man there is a ton of stuff to get this car going.

The 1967 BMW 1600

My Dad bought this car many years ago and drove it all over SoCal even took it on a trip down to Mexico. This is the one that I am going to get going on the road first the 1600 motor will get good gas milage and still be fun to drive. Here are some photos of it as it looks now as we loaded it on the trailer in Simi Valley. My Uncle Ryc helped me get them out and bring them up to Porterville. I am ordering a repair manuel for it so i can start the work to get it road worthy again. Keep checking back for new updates.

The trip to get the 2 BMW's

My Dad called me on Thursday last week and told me that the old 1967 BMW 1600 that he use to drive was down in souther cal and my Uncle needed to have it moved. If I wanted it that he would help me with gas money to go pick it up. So I aranged with my uncle to go pick up the Car down in Simi Valley where it was sitting out in the yard of his mechanic. When I called my uncle he informed me he also had a 1972 bmw 2002 and he would sell it to me for $400. I love these little old cars and rember the 67 when i was a kid and thought it would be a cool car to have. Little did i know i would get it after it had sat for 15 years. Here are some photos of the cars. I will tell more about the crazy adventure of getting them in a future post. The red car in the photo is the 1600 and the blue one is the 2002
