Happy New Year, may all your troubles be phew!

The cars & I are all prepped & ready to go.
Hoping Mid-America '02fest happens.
Hoping The Vintage in Asheville/Hot Springs happens.
Hoping Monterey Car Week happens.
Hoping The Vintage at Saratoga happens.
Hoping the local events happen.
Hoping ice cream happens.

Hoping I can take it easy, like that will happen.
 
I have the results of a very local survey.

Will I finish my E9 in 2022?.png
 
My cars will survive 2022. My person and my mental sanity, who knows.
My detractors say I never had such sanity.

So for now my plans are mountain biking every day.
 
I plan on FINALLY finishing welding metal back into mine , I am quite close now , i think I just have the passenger door left to cut out some rust above the door handle and weld in a repair.
mind you , I thought I had all the rust removed about 2 months ago then I took out the front and rear windscreens and found a bit more :)

I have similar but a bit more extensive repairs waiting for me. My trunk seal seat apparently was leaking for a while and now the brace that runs across the top of the trunk under the lower edge of the rear window has some large perforations. Eeek. That won't be fun.
 
Finish my 72 BMW 2002 tii Ceylon gold car by mid American the end of April, mid year finish 900 sq/ft addition to shop and by the end of 2022 finish my e9 coupe…

my hope is getting the ex rally car again street legal approved.... and selling it. :oops:
Can you PM me pics of rally car? Might be interested....don't worry about making it street legal, anything goes in Idaho. I drive a UTV (Yanmar Longhorn) around the streets w/ no helmet most of the time. Just recently starting wearing a helmet mainly to keep my head warm.....no restrictions here.

Nice Quonset hut! How did the dustless blasting work for you? How did you keep from flash rust?
 
we have a fleet of cars coming to the shop from paint…
no rest for the wicked….
