below is a copy of the write-up my father prepared when he was planning on selling his prized 1974 BMW 2002tii. He was too attached and coudn't sell it in 2005 after completing the restoration. It has about 126,000 original miles and a clear NJ title. He passed away last year and I've kept this vehicle in my own garage since. It's only been driven a few times around town since then. Everything appears to be as it was when he finished the restoration in 2005. He was a professional mechanic and BMW enthusiast for the better part of his life. He also held ASE certifications. I have plenty of pictures, and will post them here soon.

I'm the 2nd owner of this vehicle which i purchased in march 2001. I drove this car home and put it in my garage in Montclair, NJ and proceeded to restore it. All chrome and bumpers were removed engine transmission drive shaft was removed as was complete exhaust system. The paint on this car was silver that looked like a repaint. Paint was wet sanded and aswell as the primer. The car was reprimed with epoxy primer and repainted with black acrylic laquer. Which will need to be color sanded and compounded, this is why you will notice in the photos the top chrome ring is not on the car but i have all the chrome and clips to put the chrome back on the car. It is easier to to wet sand and compound with the chrome removed. all the chrome is in perfect condition. their are a few small dings in the driver side door. The sunroof cables were replaced with the better brass sliders as you may know the original BMW sliders in the sunroof were plastic and tended to break.

Now the engine, was completly taken apart, old freez plugs removed and the engine was flushed. new freez plugs were inserted. this is a list of the new components that were replaced in motor:timing chain, oil pump chain, main bearings, rod bearings, piston rings, and connecting rod bushings. Crankshaft journals were all in perfect condition. Engine starts right up in cold weather and is running correctly, cold start valve and warm up runner are functioning correctly. This engine has no leaks and many of the hoses on the injection pump, as well as the radiator, were replaced. brand new valve Springs were also put in the head.

Since this overhaul this car has been driven less than 30 miles. I recently took a compression test and all 4 cylinders were at 155psi.

The transmission has a short shift kit which is tight and works very well. The driveshaft has a new guibos, or felx disc, as well as a new center support and U joint. There are no rips is the rear axel boots. The front brake calipers were overhauled and new inner and outer seals replaced. All brakes work well with 95% pads and shoes. the front end is very tight, a new center link was instaled, and the tie rod ends are very tight. This engine has a brand new sterling coated header from bavarian auto sport as well as a brand new ansa exhaust system only upgraded hardware was used to install and reinforce the exhaust system. This car also has bilstein performance shocks all around. the gas tank was removed and all components cleaned and flushed. the rubber gasket and fuel pickup hose from gas tank are also new. this car also has factory air which is complete but not working.the compressor is not siezed and may need very little work to function.

The interior dash is in perfect condition and all gauges are working as well as the clock. the seats have no rips and have the origignal horse hair stuffing which should be replaced.

The clutch slave, and master, cylinders have been overhauled as well as the brake master cylinder.

This car has the original BMW steel rims included, but there are upgraded rims & new tires currently on the car. The original exhaust manifold and down pipe also come with the car as well as the original air cleaner system.
