More 2002tii Bodywork

Jun 20, 2011 update to the BMW 2002tii project car

We’ll readily admit that we’re not in the business of doing bodywork. That said, we find a lot of pleasure in this sometimes frustrating process of smoothing out wrinkly sheet metal. We spent the weekend with some filler and a whole bushel of sanding pads as we smoothed out our BMW’s once-crusty exterior.

Once we had the surface looking smooth to the naked eye, we put down another layer of primer to get a better handle on the areas we needed to improve. We also fitted the flares to see how things were shaping up on that front. We’re getting excited to see the car head off to the paint booth.
