Chemical dipping a 1969 BMW 2002

Chemically Removing the paint and rust off a 1969 BMW 2002 prior to a restoration.

First step- alkaline paint removal.(it took two dips in the alkaline but I skipped the second because it was redundant)

Second step- acid bath to remove rust.

Third step- applying a rust inhibitor (wasn’t able to get that on video) #cars #bmw #restoration #acid #rustremoval #paintremoval #powerwashing #pressurewashing

As a detailer, I thought I was good at getting things clean. Turns out this guy REALLY knows how to clean👍👍

The basic condition of the chassis is insane, if you remember how bad the corrosion protection of these BMW are.Worth a top Restauration 👍

I had a brief opportunity to drive and work on one of these 2002s back in the 1970s, when I was in college. It was a friend's car and rather than let it sit over a month-long holiday between semesters, she asked me to take it home with me. While I had it, I did a lot of maintenance that had been neglected, oil changes and such.
Wish I could have done more! It was a nice car to work on and a great car to drive. When it came time to go back to school, I had no choice but to drive 50 or 60 miles through a January ice storm... One of very few cars on the slick roads that day, it was amazing how well that Beemer did. They just don't build them like that any more!
I'm very glad to see a nice example being saved! 😎

As somebody who hates sanding there's something very very satisfying about this.

Hi, I am in New Zealand. I have had a few cars dipped. It is a very good way to find all of the corrosion that exists. That 02 is in fantastic condition. It definitely deserves a top restoration. They are a very cool car.

That's in incredible condition. A great basis for a restoration or restomod.

It's amazing how well the body has held up over those years!

У меня была Е21. После нее было много машин. Но акула осталась в памяти самой любимой. Простота и эмоции на грани фола!

Слишком хороший кузов для 1969года, повезло найти такую 👍🔥

Bring these classics back to their former glory. I had two of these and they were a hoot. Nothing like the rolling computers that BMW are churning out now. These had soul.

This popped up on my feed. WOW! I was not expecting that, those thing are rare due in part to rust prevention (or rather lack of), used at the time. Amazing shape for restoration, must have been looked after or had work done previous. Read the chemicals are Environmentally friendly, guess that's why the paint was a a bit of a mare. In UK a lot of places still using stuff which ain't, good at stripping, nightmare for safe disposal. Should have guessed as you were able to use rope any not metal to hang it off. Liked that 👍

Don't know why I'm drawn to these videos so much. It's like staring at a camp fire.
Pretty cool though to watch the bare metal come through.

Как это прекрасно, нужно ввести в массы подобную технологию обработку-восстановление кузова!

I love this car so much! A 2002 tii Turbo would be a dream. Such a lively little bugger!

[daniyarshigayev]

Thanks for the video! It would be great to see next steps in the restoration process: body coating and assembly :-)

[wilmetteentwistle]

Be cool to see the entire rebuild on this car.

BEAUTIFUL, THERE IS NOTHING MORE MOTIVATING THAN STARTING WITH A BRAND NEW CANVAS .

SATT.

Most pleasant thing what I have seen for a while, dipping makes honor for 2002 to keep it shape 👌

После ремонта кузова сделайте гольваническое цинкование чтобы отремонтированные места были надёжно защищены. 👍

Super clean chassis. 👍 I will always have a soft spot for an '02 roundie! 😁 Gotta love the undercoat, paints, cavity wax/ fluid film/ cosmoline, etc that BMW uses. All 8 of my bimmers held up really well and resisted rust and rot pretty decently as well. Much better than a lot of other makes, especially Japanese cars which are made out of recycled tuna and soda cans LOL 😆 Thanks for sharing, and I know that car will make someone really happy if build correctly with the right 'OEM+' type of parts IMO. They are great on the track with a legit coilover/ suspension setup and a decent drivetrain like an s14/ associated trans/ LSD diff would be a blast. 🙂 Thank you for sharing bro. 👍👍😎
