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.

Slow but steady progress
Tore apart the motor this weekend and started rebuilding the carbs. I had wanted to switch over to a twin set of Dell Orto FRD units, but based on my research into the Volkswagen world(where both are used on Beetles, etc) I just don't know If I would really gain anything there. Next up are the heads. Looks like a lot of grinding, sanding and polishing are in my future.
