New member, new project. '69 1602

[427]

G'day every one. i'm new here and i thought i'd share my new project car.

Some back story. My dad and uncle have been road rallying a 2002 from about '98. In that time it has seen 2 new shell, 3 different colours and getting better and better each time. This is where i have got some of my mild technical knowledge from. One car was build in 7 weeks from the old one! I have also done service crew for 3 other BMWs, 2 of them were 2002 and one was a CSL.

My car is/was the spare parts car for the rally car. So it has a few little things missing and hasn't been driven in ages.

It is a 1602 but it has a 2002 motor with a 4 speed in it.

Heres a short list of what is wrong:

Speedo is wrong (wrong gear that drives it)

Rev counter doesn't work.

Rear brakes don't work...that well

Gear selection problems (Feels like its in neutral when in gear)

Over fueling the carbi

Dash falling apart

Rusting boot lid

The hood is far from straight but has had some work done

Drivers door a little rusty where it has hit the hood.

Passenger door has no tie to stop it opening until it hits the frame

it goes on and on.

I think i have my work cut out for my. Any way heres some pics of it.

I'll keep you all informed as this start to change and get fixed.

The first this to fix are the over fueling, gear box, and the rear brakes so i can use the hand brake when i'm parked.

Heres the only photo i have of it. I don't get to see it all that often so i take a few each time.

Here it is a few years ago.

Back before it was changed from a '74 to a '69 with the help of a saw, new lights and a new grill.

@ oz_tom: Thanks for the heads up about the Vic 02 Registry.

cheers tommo
