New Owner (again) Intro

[pitchrollyaw]

Hi All, new owner in Central Mass here.   I had a 1600-2 back in college, when I met my Wife and she suggested we add one to the fleet.  I found this one; '74 in golf, very original.  She joins a few other vintage cars and trucks in the fleet, and doesn't need much major, just a few little things.    Look forward to joining the forum.

Similar taste in cars. I had a '70 TR6 before the family came along. My current '73 2002 is my re-entry into the vintage world. I did manage to squeeze a '70 Triumph Daytona (motorcycle) into my garage with all the kids bikes and toys over the last few years. Enjoy the 1600-2, it looks like a beauty.

Hi Mark, thanks.  She is actually a 2002, my old one was the 1600-2.  Nice bike.

 

here is the '02 w/ another Brit toy.

I hope we get to see your 02 this summer. We have an email list we update people on, with gatherings & events, and also our FB page is where everyone chooses to be (unfortunately) https://www.facebook.com/groups/bmw2002us/

That's a nice, clean 2002 you have there.  Welcome.

 

I'm also in central Mass, and have owned 2002s previously.

Hi All, well I am finally done w/ this project...at least as done as one of these can be.   Starting a new business, losing a parent and, oh yeah, COVID put me about a year behind, but here she is with her rebuilt engine and many other repairs, etc.   Just needs some small trim pieces and a few other odds and ends.   Just in time for about 500 miles of driving and hibernation.

 

I kept her mostly stock except for some period accessories, a CHMSL, marine gauges (close match to the cluster) and spark plug wire clips from a Lycoming until I source the proper loom....or not, I kind of like the aircraft clips and they look the part.

 

Hope to get back on the fun car circuit in '21.
