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.

Full Custom
Well, after finding out that the rear deck lid was too damaged to be reused(a good used one is on the way from Germany) I started looking for ways to use the extra steel. After staring at it long enough and drinking a few beers I came up with the idea to use the intake vents to cover that annoying hole in the back of the car body. Every 700 I see, that hole seems to kill the overall look of the rear end for me. Most people put the license plate over it, but I had something different in mind. So, I cut the vents out of the old lid, trimmed them down, made a template of the panel, squared it up and centered on the rear of the car, welded it in place, ground down the welds, and the result is a custom grill that will not only match the deck lid but is also made of recycled parts from the original car!
