Documenting the restoration of a 1960 BMW 700 Sport Coupe done in our garage. A full nut and bolt rebuild from the ground up. The plan is to make a custom rally car drawing on inspiration from the 700 RS, the 700 rennsport and the Willi Martini prepped race cars.

Organizing the bounty
There were so many "spare parts" included with the car, I had to do an inventory. There is a new clutch, replacement front fenders, various other parts and a set of factory parts and service manuals from way back in the day(1960's ?). Oh, and you see that tennis ball hanging from the ceiling? It hits the windshield of Leroy's F-450 to help park it in the garage. Yeah, this thing is so small I think we might as well not even bother with keeping the rear seat in there. I couldn't even get all the way into the back seat when I was cleaning it out yesterday. Plus, it might help with the front to rear weight balance of the car. I mean the motor and trans are back there, no need to be carrying extra weight in the back of the car for no reason.
