Here I will be documenting my first ever car restoration project. Actually its more of a "rolling" restoration as the car isnt being completely torn down. Anywho, I have a come a long way since the beginning and you can watch me learn as I go along. I am what I like to call an Internet Mechanic. I really had no prior knowledge of cars until now. I learned literally everything I know from the Internet especially my favorite message board www.bmw2002faq.com. I am documenting this project to help others just as I was helped.
