1973 BMW 2002 Color: Atlantik Blue - original color: Colorado Orange A solid example of the classic roundie '02. An older (7 years ago) restoration. Paint is an 7.5-8 out of 10. Purchased from Seattle, WA in March 2005 - Completely stripped down over 2005/2006. Engine out, interior out, all lights & trim off, black tar removed from interior floor, front fenders removed. - Minor rust spot in passenger floor repaired, surface rust around pedal box and spare tire well ground down. - POR-15 over entire floor, behind and under front fenders, spare well, engine compartment. - Front and rear windshields removed. Front replaced with new, new gaskets for front and rear - Sanded through several layers of paint – originally Colorado Orange, then metallic gold (!), then squirted BAD screaming Orange. Thus my switch to Blue. It wasn’t original anymore! - Painted Atlantik Blue, reassembled, driven. - No winter/salt driving - Car spent time in Hawaii, has a Hawaiian inspection sticker on the rear bumper. I left it on, I thought it was cool. - Bilstein shocks and struts. Engine: ~110K miles. Runs great. No smoke, good compression, no overheating. - New: alternator, water pump, pertronix ignition, wires, all belts/hoses, carb rebuilt and jetted 3 weeks ago, valves adjusted, motor mount (the one that always breaks) re-welded and reinforced with steel Gear box: shifts smooth, no syncro grinding when gearing up, fluid drained and replaced when engine/transmission out of the car, shifter is OK, could use new bushings, etc at some point. Clutch: Very sensitive. Could use to have the system bled. I'm used to it. New drivers of the car think it is sensitive........ Other new stuff: (within 5K miles: - Center link, tie rod ends - Rear brakes and brake cylinders - Front pads – have new rotors to install - Heat shield in engine - Front windshield - Gaskets on front/rear windshield - Fat Mat in interior floor - Clutch slave cylinder - Tires (rims purchased on ebay). - Guibo on driveshaft - Grant wood steering wheel – used in very good condition - Battery Interior: - Seats are in need of some repair. I have added padding and put seat covers on. They are functional - Dash has the usual crack in the center - Center console is in good condition. - Carpeting is new, installed by me. - Headliner is not ripped, could use a cleaning - Rubber around doors and windows could use replacement. Exterior: - Hood has some issues. It is not totally straight in the front and has some bubbling beginning. It will need attention. - Rocker panels are solid A-1 - Shock towers are A-1 - Trunk lid is A-1 - Wheel wells (rear) are A-1 - Front fenders are A-1 - Front grills are OK, not immaculate –see pictures - Rear end is A-1 - Spare tire well had some pin hole rust. I ground to bare metal, primed and painted with POR-15 in and out. - Trim is great from 10 feet. I did not replace it, I cleaned it and reinstalled. - Bumpers are excellent. I took them off, cleaned completely and primed them inside to prevent rust. Car has been garaged 100% since purchase. Always driven on sunny days, no winter driving.Car is located in Falmouth, on Cape Cod. Buy it to drive it or Buy it to RE-restore it. email with questions: jpaul@zeptometrix.com
