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.

Dash
I made a number of plugs and filled the holes in the top of the dash today. Those holes are where the ashtray and dash cover went. Those parts won't be going back on. I welded it in short sections to keep the dash from warping due to heat. its like 18 gauge steel, and that's fairly thin. I will also be filling the holes on the face of the dash where the trim, lighter and stereo went. Those parts will also not be returning. I didn't take a before pic, so I cropped an old one to show the holes.
