1968 2002 project car PRICE REDUCED!

[scottiesharpe]

For sale: this was a running driving car that I pulled the driveline out of last fall in hopes to do an M20 conversion. A new job and a new found love of motorcycling (BMWs of course) have me pointed in a new direction.

Best reasonable offer on this project will be taken. Lots of new parts from Ireland engineering. Tons of neat modifications. Complete M20 engine, harness, ECU and electrical come with car. Also included are several drive drafts (to make a custom one), and a 5-speed transmission from M42-powered 1991 318i (works and shifts great - I drove home and parted the 318i to get the tranny) come with car. Lots of nice stuff like brand new black cordoroy Recaro seats (tags are still on them) in new condition (of course). Roll cage (not installed). And more.

The M20 engine was removed (by me) from a 1987 325i automatic owned by a normal family in Manteca that was rear ended. The car had been serviced normally and I think I still have the service records for that car. It had a timing belt service done just prior to being totalled. I bought it because it was in an automatic car and it is my theory that autos make good donor engine cars because they spend most of their lives below 3,000rpm.

Like I said, this was a running driving car. The front and rear suspension was professionally four-wheel aligned for toe-in front and rear, camber front and rear to Jeff Ireland's suggested track settings (in the FAQ) by Professional Alignment in Mountainview ($375).

Here is a list of modifications and approximately how much I have invested in each item.

Body is "fair" - meaning it is solid but it has rust here and there and surface rust. Was never intended to be a show car. Floor boards will need to be repaired. All structuural items appear to be solid. I've driven this car in the hills and on the auto-x course and it has worked great. Super handling and fantastic brakes. Will need new tires, but has worn tires on it.

Car is located in San Jose CA, is registered non-op, is smog exempt and is towable.

Make offer via private message or email me at scottiesharpe on gmail dot com. Please make an offer or call me if you are into it, and we can work out a deal. Will consider trade for a car or motorcycle.

Wow, awesome turn key project. Someone hurry up and get this before I am tempted to pick it up.

What's the ballpark range you are looking to get out of it?

Scottie,

Not to hijack the thread ...But you got my wondering about your 5 speed upgrade. Can you provide details on you install ?

Thanks,

Chris

The use of a five speed from an E30 318i is for M20 engine. This is well documented in the "6 into 2" pdf. If you are seeking info on putting a 5 speed into an M10 powered 2002, then check the faq section. There is a great writeup there.
