High Performance BMW – The BMW 2002 TII
The workshop saw the arrival of this beautiful BMW 2002 TII., a high-performance sports version of the standard BMW 2002.
We received this rare and excellent car after the previous welder, who was from a different company, had let the customer down. The shell had been blasted and epoxy primed, and we spent a considerable amount of time welding and fabricating many new panels. This included floor pans, sills, wings, rear valance, front panels, inner wing sections, and numerous other tasks. We painted all the panels on the inside before fitting them.
Once all the welding work was done, we bolted all the panels back on and aligned them with all exterior trims. We also checked the fittings to ensure that everything was a perfect fit. We filled the body, followed by spray filler, which was then blocked down for primer to be applied.
Once happy with the application of the primer coat the shell was blocked down again. The underside of the shell was then seam sealed and a coat of RAPTOR underbody protection applied tinted to the body colour of the vehicle.
Always an exciting stage the body and panels go into paint.
Now fully painted the shell moves to the build up bay where we start the refit with either new or refurbished items. It is always nice at this point when items are clean to go on the vehicle which is now really taking shape.
While work takes place on refitting the engine we take the opportunity to fit a new headlining.
Engine bay now completed we fit the underside of the car and do a spanner check of all the suspension etc. A new carpet set is also fitted along with the rear seats and other dash board trim.
Refit now completed the car is given a valet and handed over to a very proud owner to enjoy for many years.
