#36, from rust box to period hillclimber, on a rather tight budget.

Painting: Hubert Hahne #10 Nurburgring 1968
My latest painting, not yet finished, is of Hubert Hahne in his works BMW 2002 which finished 1st for a BMW 1-2 at the Nurburgring 6 hours on July 7th 1968. A remarkable finish for BMW's new 2002 marking the beginning of a very successful racing career. Prints will be available upon completion on paper or canvas as well as the original. POA.
This car is a very early BMW 2002, in fact it is the 36th right hand drive 2002 ever made. My plan for #36 is to maintain and recondition as much of the original car as humanly possible and to modify, sympathetic to period, for historic hillclimbing, whilst retaining all original components and without making any permanent modifications to any single part. Eventually, time and money permitting, I would like to repair and replace all of the poorly repaired sections of metal and achieve a decent condition of body and paint, preferably a single shade of red.
