Dutch 1502 restoration

[jochem]

Hello, i've been reading through the various project logs with great pleasure. Thought i'd join in and inform you about what's going on in my shed these months...

I decided last summer that i needed an oldtimer, next to the peugeot 205gti that i have. I love to hunt for bargains, so the search took a while. Finally ended up with a great deal: one sanded and partly tectyled 1502, a donor 1602 (plenty rust included) and a mountain of extra parts.

I spent a long time gathering information, as i had never had any experience with beemers, apart from driving my dads 530t. There were two difficult choices: the color and the engine.....

I was toying with the e30 318is for a bit, almost had one, but it wouldn't be available till the end of summer 2007. I want the car up and running this summer and would want the engine fitted before i paint.

Finally one weekend i was busy rearanging my shed, when i remembered the purchase came with a seperate lump. Lots of research concluded it was a 1.8 from an e21 around 1985. Sounds like a good start to me!

Right about now i have finished the new exhaust mannifold and i'm constructing the inlet mannifold. These are needed because i'm installing a td04 subaru impreza turbo.

Anyway, enough typing, time for some pictures.
