1971 BMW 2002

General

Restoration was just completed on my 1971 BMW 2002. I am

reluctantly selling it to fund another project. The car looks as good

in person as it does in the photos and was recently named People's

Choice of 85 2002s at Vintage, a large gathering of classic BMWs in

Winston Salem, NC. All work described below completed was within the

last 18 months with lots of help from BMW 2002 faq members and

talented local resources.

Body

Originally finished in Sahara beige. Any identified rust properly

repaired with new or rust free donor panels. Spare tire well replaced

with an e30 well. Terrific original rear shock towers. Car was epoxy

primed, blocked several times, and sprayed with Dupont base coat/clear

coat in Verona red. Buffed and polished to a gorgeous liquid like

finish. Front and rear side markers deleted. Engine compartment

finished in satin back. Floor pans, inside and out, undercoated along

with trunk. New euro front signals, belt line and knee trim, badges,

2002 emblem, trapezoid mirror, trim between taillights, license plate

lamps, front windshield, front and rear window rubber and lock strips,

door rubber, outer door chrome and felt sweepers, door sills, antenna,

rain gutters and proper aluminum wiper blades. Rear bumper

professionally re-chromed with euro seam covers and new rubber trim.

Any remaining trim cleaned/polished such as rockers, b-pillar and

lower rear quarter window pieces. Kamei style front spoiler

seamlessly molded to car with small tubular reinforcements from lip

back to original rust free front valance. Hella H4 headlights. The

exterior finish of this 2002 is nothing less than outstanding. The

paint quality is exceptional.

Interior

Custom vinyl stitched dash by Chris Willet complimented by new leather

Momo steering wheel with white stitching. Vinyl covered console face

with DIN type Sony AM/FM/CD powering two 6x9" Boston Acoustic speakers

mounted under the rear seats. New OE headliner, sun visors, door sills, shift

boot, shift knob, rear parcel shelf and golden wheat colored loop

carpet by World Upholstery with padding. New retracting seat belts in

front. No rear belts installed but will include originals if

requested. Door panels and rear panels are from a later car and are

in very good condition. The front panels have been installed on new

boards from Aardvarc racing. Front seats are adjustable Flofits

mounted on refinished e21 Recaro rails. Front and rear seats were

reupholstered in matching vinyl a few years ago and still look

terrific. Recovered rigid gray trunk panels with custom red trimmed

black carpet mat by esty. Dash lights not working.

Suspension, Wheels and Tires

New Bilstein HD front struts, strut mounts, strut caps and ball

joints. New H&R Sport springs lowering the stance by about 1.5". Polished aluminum front strut bar from Ray. New

Bayern Mesh 15x7" wheels with polished lips wrapped in new Falken Ziex

912 tires. New inner and outer axle boots. 14" e30 BBS basketweave wheels with new tires also available instead of Bayern wheels if preferred.

Hydraulics

New front brake calipers, pads and rotors. New rear wheels cylinders

and shoes. New brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder and

clutch slave cylinder. New emergency brake cables. New brake fluid

reservoir and proper fabric lines. Rebuilt pedal box with remanufactured brake booster by Centric.

Under the Hood

Dry motor that does not smoke or burn oil mated to a smooth shifting

4-speed transmission (small leak at drain plug). New water pump, mechanical fuel pump, NOS peanut intake, Weber 38

DGES carburetor, air cleaner, MSD high output coil, electronic

ignition, Bavauto high performance plug wires, Bosch platinum plugs,

distributor cap and rotor, belts, hoses, fuses, fuse box cover,

battery and battery cables. Re-manufactured high output alternator

with built in regulator and Bosch starter both still under warranty.

Radiator fully serviced. 4 into 1 header feeding a new Ansa

resonator and Ansa Sport center exit muffler all with new mounting

hardware. Recent oil change with Amsoil high zinc 20W50 full

synthetic.

Saw your car at the Vintage -- amazing attention to detail. What stood out to me was the paint job, wheels, and front seats. While there obviously are many custom touches... this car was nicely done. Whoever gets this car, gets a car like driving out of the dealership (not stock, but condition). Sorry you have to sell -- your new project must be something to give this one up.

[2double02]

Thanks for the kind words guys. Two projects potentially on the horizon - a pepper white on black roundie and guards red 912.

Meh. The moment you grafted an air dam onto the car, you stole part of its charm and character. All of the black spray paint for the undercarriage raises questions too. I hate to trash your thread, but you're asking a lot of money, so your car is going to get critiqued.

[2double02]

Critique is fine. No doubt, this car was built to my personal taste. I have owned several original 2002s and appreciate them in most all forms. I think the modifications to my car are tasteful but agree they are not for everyone. Anyone who saw the car at Vintage this year can attest to the quality of the restoration and the price is reasonably negotiable and somewhat based on faq member input. I also plan to take it to Euro-Classica in Winston Salem, NC in September where BMW will be the featured marque. Thanks for your comments.

[2double02]

Price lowered. Reasonable offers considered.

I'm new/seasoned enough here to notice there are two distinct schools. The purists and the non-purist.

I'm a non. That being said I think this is one of the finest "resto-mods" out there. The air dam is beautifully done and I believe it compliments the original lines. I plan the same for my car. The rims work very well. The undercoating I think (FL rain-hell) is a must. Mine will have that in the wheel wells.

As far as money. I don't want to total mine. Add to that the hours spent and I have a feeling a "plug and play" is an acceptable option.

Yes you could be critiqued. You could be applauded. I'm the latter. Beautiful car, well executed!!!

[2double02]

Thanks for the comments guys. There are some great original and modified cars on this forum.

I kept walking back to view this car at the Vintage Event.

The paint job, trim and interior are very nicely done.
