Love the stainless steel seat rail covers! Nice work. Good luck with your inspection.

Passed MOT and finally got my customized license plates. Made custom plate holders out of stainless steel plates.
Replaced oil again since car was smoking gray when idling. Getting better and better will see how it will be after thousand kilometers driven.
And there was opportunity so I bought new project 1968 2002.
"The BMW 2002 VIN 1613552 was manufactured on July 19th, 1968 and delivered on July 29th, 1968 to Yugoslavia. The original colour was Polaris metallic, paint code 060"
Looks solid was repainted in 80s. Plan is to go with turbo look and back to original color or black.

Your car is super shiny. Was it restored/had a paint job?
either way very nice!

sorry I hadn’t read the whole thread. Beautiful job. And as I say very shiny. Love it.
Unbelievable energy... well done!
Hi, just reading up on your thread, nice work, and you're quite speedy in getting things sorted out.
I read on page 3 or so that your fan motor was making noises. The fan turbine is supposed to be balanced with small metal clips attached to the fins. I had 3 or 4 on mine, placed in high and low. I guess that if they are missing in your turbine fan, that you'd have the scraping noises you describe. You might want to check up if they are present. The can be seen through the metal grille.
Edit. After zooming in on your pics I see that three clips are attached to the white fins. Clearly they are not missing. Sorry for the confusion....

Thanks @eriknetherlands it still seemed so long
My fan motor is still making noises I believe I placed metal clips wrong or I am indeed missing some.
Small update I made around 2500 km with no mayor issues hope to make another 1000 km before winter hits.

Is the heater core under the dash, behind the blower?
Looking great!
My interior rear deck doesn't merge into the center piece that seperates the back seat. Mine is a 72 2800cs. Is your rear deck custom or is it standard in your year. Looks really nice!
