What did you do to your 2002 today !

[John76]

Finally making progress!

Pistons/rings installed.

Oil pump and pan secured.

Head back on.

Still to go: Torque head, make adjustments, connect hoses/electrics, clean-up and drive!

Looking forward to Bay Area Swap & Show.

Painted my valve cover for probably the 4-5th time. After multiple attempts at masking and spraying that didn’t produce the desired results I’m now doing the raised portions with a paint pen. It’s slow and tedious and my hands shake but another coat or two and it might be presentable.

Wait a minute, your getting you body work done at the Rusty Bodyworks seems redundant to me😁.

Ooops, I'm off to clean my glasses.

The cleaning lady came today, so I had to move my headliner off the floor of my office, so why not hang it in the car.  When I trimmed the first bow loop to expose the bow, I went a touch too deep and nicked the top of the headliner.  I'll need to figure out some kind of repair, to keep it from tearing.  I glued in zip tie anchors on the roof after installing the bows and rotating them into the up position.  What I did not realize is that bows #1 and #5 sit at an angle when stretched, so the anchors weren't exactly above the bow with the headliner installed.  Longer zip ties fixed this issue.  Now I need my helper to start the clip stretch.

Upgraded from bullet to blades (Holy Grail Labs) and installed Scheels using low rise adapter from Aardvarc. A lot more to do, cutting down the list.

Man they look comfy, I think they look so 70’s!

I’ve had enough heat cycles since putting in a new head gasket that I thought I should retorque the head and adjust the valves. I really enjoyed doing it. Working on cars is a stress reliever for me. 😁

Was in need of a little BMW Therapy session yesterday, so painted my dip stick and then let it bake in the sun all day...

Painting my dipstick was way more enjoyable than it should have been.

Thanks for the inspiration !

I’m happy with the finished product. It isn’t perfect but as my old boss was fond of saying, “we’re not building a f***ing Ferrari here!”

 

now I need to find someone to build the engine it will sit on.

Looks good! How’d you wire up the back of the fuse box?
