BMW 507 Series1
The base condition of the car at the start of the restoration
The base clean of the steel chassis and removing the exterior paint from the aluminum sheetmetals was made by hand. We drilled off the factory rivets and removed the aluminum parts from the steel chassis
Before the disassembling, we created new replacement body parts to change the whole rusty rear section.
In this work phase we replaced all the new body parts fabrcated by us, we fitted back the frame to the factory measurements, repaired the rusted areas with accurate formed patch panels and reshaped the factory wheel housings, what was created by hand in the BMW factory
The steel chassis is complete and ready for the primery. All the frame was resizing to the factory measurements, we also reshaped the factory hand made wheel houses
The chassis was coated a special primer coating. The color of the paint is the same "BMW Federweiss" as theexterior paint of the car .
To fix the convertible top, the BMW used a special wood console between the steel chassis and the rear aluminum shell. To fabricated a new one we needed to do a form from plaster, for creating a form from fiberglass for the exact wood fabrication
The front and rear shell of the car was crashed and hardly oxided. We repaired the aluminum parts acurately, reshaped the sells to the original form, repaired the factory measure fails and use factory tipe aluminum rivets and rivet technics for the best authenticity.
