962Porsche-Thank you for obtaining the color code for Oslo Blue for the BMW 2002 I was painting. Wow, almost 5 years later, I shot it last Wednesday and couldn't be happier with the results! Thanks again for your help!

the TR6 is another car that I have always like the looks of .
the down side is the chassis on them is a very bad design then to top it off they cut the back bone out by having the trans tunnel removable . I have two in my shop now . a 1976 that a shop did a full resto on with a bent chassis then they hacked the hell out of the car to get the body panels on it . I pulled the body off the chassis and made jigs for the build table and straightened the chassis . it was low in the rear by 55mm and high in the front by 32mm . they used hockey pucks for body shims in the rear . because I built the jigs for the build table I got another one the customer is having us build for racing . we are building a tube chassis for this and it's getting some extra bracing to make the chassis more rigid . in the chassis design program I have it's 28 % more rigid then stock and 2LBS more in weight . that was the best balance between the two I could find . |

Great work!!
A 2002 has been on my list for awhile now. Nice to see one done right! Love this color too. Have been kicking around a repaint of my '68 still back and forth on a color. Just as the right color can make a car, the wrong color can do it harm. I love how blue shows off the lines and flares on yours!

I absolutely love Mikes car !
the color is perfect for the car too what a great build . I have always loved the 2002's and with the wide body they just look so cool . they are a blast on the track very forgiving to drive there just a good package . |

Thanks guys, I'm having a blast building this car & doing almost everything myself....learning a ton! I'll keep this one for as long as I can drive (hopefully into my 80s)!
A little over a year ago, I sold my modified 77 930 and have been bummed by the increasing/outrageous asking prices for early turbos, it's truly insane. I don't think I'll ever be able to own another 930. At least I can enjoy this 2002 for many years to come and not fret about smog issues.

over the years there are only a hand full of cars I regret selling .
my Mazda AZ1 , Porsche 911 SC , Porsche 996 AWD , BMW 2002 TII , 1988 M3 , not that they can't be replaced but there was just things about them that made them special . I always say every thing is for sale if the price is right but not so much any more . |
