Well, 2007 wasn't a good year for us so some of my projects were delayed. Dealing with a crappy economy hurt my business enough to mothball it until people can afford to go see live music, my dad and several friends passed away, and I had a serious health scare. Luckily, that problem was corrected and I'm doing OK.. though losing 30-40 lbs would be a good goal.
So, with free time available (finally!) I've gotten back to work on my little BMW. It runs great, the interior is truly wonderful, has only 25,500 miles and is completely rust free. I've cleaned up everything and will complete the engine compartment detailing in a couple of weeks. I'll also remove the wheels for a proper strip and respray them. I'm looking for correct hubcaps... these are dented and ratty. I've gotten almost all the exterior trim polished, but will need to fabricate the lower pieces, probably from Mercedes w111 bits.
I'm still undecided about a respray since the majority of the original finish is intact. Let me know what you think. The color is Capri Gruen.
