Got my son his 1976 2002 today!!

Nice work!

My parents (Dad) bought me my 73' almost 14 years ago (in July) when I was 16. That car has influenced a lot in my life, inspired a lot of DIY projects, design, manufacturing all of that good stuff.

I hope he enjoys and loves it! I can't get rid of mine, and am having a son (due this week), so we will see if I can give it to him when he is 16.

Congrats on the upcoming son!! My son had a 1976 Toyota Hilux this last year. Just did not like the lowered truck thing....he LOVES this 02 I got him. We are putting a recored radiatior in this evening. He is driving ity 80 miles ruond trip every day right now. So we are doing work on it in the evenings so he can drive again the next day. trying to get it well sorted before Mid America.

where did you plug into the carb intake Colin - just curious because I need to reroute mine as well. ty

On mine there was a little cutout on the bottom of the air cleaner housing... It has a little plastic elbow that screws in when you drill that cutout out' date=' then attach a hose. I'll remove it to show you what I mean when I get home [/quote]

I made you a new post about this... http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,50/page,viewtopic/p,926549/#926549

So does your son plan on reinstalling beltline trim and what not? Side markers? IMHO polaris looks great on a 76 with all the trim... I'm looking at mine now =)

He said he intends on painting it back polaris and using the sticky belttrim that many of us are using now.

Personally I would go without belt trim and knee trim. Too many chances for rust (my car got the rust issue...). And with Polaris the chrome wont add a whole lot. But thats my personal opinion. Either way it'll look good!

I think Polaris looks dumb without it. Here was mine at the end of it's "car" life...

Bleh.

A Polaris with shiny new stick on trim looks pretty great, though. And using stick on trim eliminates much of the potential for rust.
