DIY Yellow Chromate Zinc Plating

Hello! My name is Geghard Ohanian, or "G" for short, and I am the owner of Heritage Gruppe. Two years ago, during a road trip with my girlfriend and business partner Alynn, we discussed the idea of finding an old car to restore. Without hesitation, I started searching Craigslist for any cool projects that we could revive. It was then that I stumbled upon a rusted, beat-up 1969 BMW 1600 project listed for sale in Nipomo, a city a few hours north of Los Angeles. Although the photos were low...

BMW 2002 Quarter Panel replacement

Since my last entry I’ve managed to install my headliner, door windows, rear 1/4 windows and door seals. I got the genuine BMW door seals for a steal off of eBay. Only $150 for both sides. 😮 Only took me around an hour to install both. Next on my list is to remove the motor from the donor car. I’m just trying to find a deal on Facebook for a cherry picker. No photo documentation of what I’ve done, so I’ll just share some random snaps. Everyone like pics. 🙃 ...

Next Steps: Engine prep for a dry sump system. Mock up of the pump, pan, and primary hoses on the stand. Description with pictures to follow. This is the stage that I'm actually deep into, so I can't really tell you how it's going yet.

To get the desired caster the front suspension top mounting point needed to be moved aft a little, and strengthened. You can also kinda see the new sub-frame and wishbone setup too. Next challenge is choosing the biggest rotors and calipers that'll fit inside the 15" wheels, and then steering.

Today my '70 1600 donated her heart to the '67. It took me the better part of the day to drop the engine and subframe by myself. Some hiccups here and there; I didn't realize there were more bolts in the transmission, one strut nut was stripped (now I have to buy another Rabbit strut), and the header/down pipe hardware was seized. I also picked up an Alpina Scheel 301 racing seat locally. It was in pretty bad shape cosmetically but was overall in good...
