1976 Bmw 2002 Fs In Roanoke Va

[ecpreston]

1976 BMW 2002 for sale! 141k on chassis, 39k on engine.

Restored in '98:
new engine with weber 36/32 and 4-1 header
5spd swap (rebuilt 320 transmission and kit by Aardvarc Racing) and clutch
cooling system re-done with upgraded radiator (out of a 320 as well I think)
exterior trim, seals, paint (still in decent shape, see pictures)
frame rails, front floor panels replaced
63A upgraded alternator
seats reupholstered, new carpet
new brake master, calipers rebuilt, wheel cylinders replaced, new rotors and pads
new shocks and struts
Originally had AC, it was removed and some parts rebuilt, but was never re-installed

I'm the second owner since the restoration, purchased March 2011. It has been a daily driver for me (garaged, not driven in snow / salt). In addition to normal maintenance, I have:
switched trans and diff to synthetic oil, engine to semi-synth
removed stock cooling fan, replaced with electric SPAL. New 80deg tstat
installed digital SPA water temp / oil pressure gauge
had both rear wheel bearings replaced, fronts repacked
installed new clutch slave
replaced dead heater core fan with rebuilt unit
removed Pertronix ignition, swapped original points system back in (Pertronix still works fine, could be re-installed)

It is still a great daily driver, and I really enjoy driving it, but I just have too many vehicles right now and need to cut back. I did a compression test 2k miles ago after a valve adjustment, results were good but I didn't write down the #'s, so I might re-do that. The car is relatively free of rust, glass looks great.

It really *needs* nothing, but here's what keeps it from being perfect:
Driver door was creased, folded forward while backing up a year after restoration. D'oh! Door stop broken, door needs replacement to be right.
Paint has a few damaged spots, no bad rust issues, but needs to be addressed. Peeling around lower rockers. Front lip does have rust problems, could be fixed or covered by a front spoiler.
Gauge cluster lights are out, fuel gauge stopped working not long after I purchased.
Seat belt retractors are pretty weak.

$4700 OBO includes box of various spares, trim, AC parts, Pertronix ignition, and a couple oil filters
