Another update

we are attacking rust on all sides. There won't be a piece left untouched.

Pieces are being made, for example half of that trunk panel is hand made new.

Some parts have been sand blasted and sprayed with epoxy primer.

The primer on the parts was to protect them from rust in the warehouse maybe but not good enough to put on the car.
so I removed it. I will be putting on epoxy primer.

removed the sill on driver side. the intermediate piece was missing as we noticed before.
about 6-7 kg of dirt was there instead.

8789 is just a serial number issued by Karmann. 60 indicates the car was originally Polaris silver.

Yup, and you can see that the 8789 is actually painted polaris.

The Karmann serial number has been discussed before, and it seems to be an internal process number and not tied to BMW VIN or serial numbers in any way.
No one has found any additional information about those numbers from Karmann, though there might have been some long ago, it's probably long been purged.

Also the diff mounting piece caused a lot of stress fractures on the body so it's reinforced. the engine will be more than the standard 200 hp most probably.

the front fenders are also removed
a lot of rust and stress fractures, so everything is normal.
also some missing pieces I suspect

I haven't been able to post the updates for a while but the work continues.

Every piece is treated with rust converter after being cleaned, then epoxy primer. after welding in place we clean the weld area again and spray another coat of epoxy primer on the burnt parts.

Great work and progress! Did you decide on what engine you will use? Stock?


Thanks Gransin

Most probably stock looking engine (apart from the distributor) with modern EFI and internals. First goal is to finish the bodywork as perfect as I can.
