Thanks for checking out my 1974 BMW 2002 (e10). No rust! I bought this thinking "Hey, I've always wanted a 2002 and how great would a project be?!" After almost 2 years of work I've finally been able to enjoy it in the summer. However I'm now at the point in my life where a wedding and other adulting resposibilities have taken priority. Here's the situation. I've put about $8k into this car to get to a point where I can actually enjoy it. It's a crazy amount of money to put into this car and I've done it because I have a weird emotional bond with this car. At this point I just want it to go to someone who's going to enjoy it, and continue to drive it. Here's the work I've done so far to get the car to enjoyable: - Engine crankshaft seal replaced - Drive belt replaced - Master cylider replaced - Brake pedal plate replaced - Power brake booster replaced - Pedal box removed and replaced - Radiator replaced with aluminum alternative (have orignal iron core) - Fan delete installed to replace original fan (have original fan) - Rear axel rebuild - Tie rods replaced - Suspension replaced - Lowering coils installed - Bushings replaced- New exhaust installed - Rear License plate light replaced - Body work and surface rust removed - Pastelblau paint (not engine bay or door hinges) - Rust removal below car take care of with rest of body solid - New glass (front and rear windshields - apparently the last rear windshield from BMW Germany for the 2002) As you can see from the pictures I've started the work on the mechanics before I was really able to get to all the paint. I had the car painted because I am in Minnesota and rust is abundant. If you've made it this far you're probably somewhat interested so it's worth noting the pieces that will need attention: - The AC is currently removed as I was manuevering the new electric fan (Yes, this is a BMW 2002 that actually has air conditioning) - The car starts right up every time I drive it but the carb could use a good cleaning and probably reseal - The headliner needs to be replaced (haven't touched the interior) - The center console needs to be added (have the original but didn't like it) - Turn signals currently don't work but hand signals have worked just fine for me - New tires would certainly make the ride more comfortable Help me find a new home for this car that doesn't want to give up.
