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.

Interior panels
The original interior and door panels were in pretty rough shape. I salvaged some trim from the two full sets of panels included with the car and had S & S Upholstery in Longmont make up some new panels using some matching leatherette material we got from Stefan when he made our seats. They use identically spaced pleats as the new seats. They also look so much better than the plastic covered stock panels and are one more piece in the process of converting the interior to black. I still have to figure out what I'm gonna do to cover the rear seat pan now that there isn't a seat there. I'll probably get a matching panel mounted to the top just to finish it off a bit more.
