Amazing job!!! Looks fantastic.

My 1600 and 2002tii were my favorite cars. Great sports sedans that stick like glue. Lots of good memories.

Simply amazing -- what a wonderful restoration -- love every detail about-- even the nicely masked undercoating on the sills

I just looked at the pics in the thread again. Gosh, I love 2002's. That's the nicest example I've ever seen.

I sold a '70 2002 Alpina to get my first Porsche. The Alpina is the only car I truly REGRET selling. Even it was sold to get a '73E.

Enjoy that beauty.

Chuck not to rub salt in your wound but an Alpina 2002 is another rare collectable piece. The last one sold in the UK was for 40k pounds. Thats around $60k and it was not even close to concours.

Speaking of atan888.....Has anyone heard from Alvin? He's kinda fallen off the face of the earth since the Yellow Bird was finally done.
