[old]

she is solid as a rock it is all surface rust . i just purchased it for $300.00 i have no plans other than getting it back into shape .. i really like the look of the turbo flares so i think that will be a definite add on .. but yeah here it is

the one with the smashed up front .. its not for sale .. i tried to get it off him .. he has 2 of them ... that is the parts car .. he also has a 68 cuda .. also not for sale .. but atleast he restores them not like some guys who would rather let them rot .. the bmw was gunna be the one that rotted so he sold it to me

thats is going to be one expensive restoration.

i dont know it really isnt that bad it has no rust through areas the rockers are solid as well as the spare tire well and all the other typical problem areas .. so im thinking some sand blasting a bit of epoxy and bondo then primer and ill be set .. i can do everything but paint so a perfectly rebuilt engine with a nasty cam .. id like to look into supercharging .. that would be fun .. eaton m-90s are easy to come across

Looks like a good candidate for a rat rod project. Don't worry about restoring it, just get it running and have fun.

strip it to the shell and spend a $1000.00 having it sand blasted and epoxy primered.

Only way to go on something like that.

Sorry, but that's not surface rust, that's rust in every nook and cranny of that car. Including under the vent control levers from what it looks like. Which means water in the car, and probably rust under the carpets. The future doesn't look very bright for that poor car.

edit: I really do hope you're able to bring it back, but make sure you check under those carpets bud.

YEP I CHECKED UNDER THE CARPETS THE FLOORS ARE SOLID .. THE SPARE TIRE WELL IS SOLID AS WELL ... THE ROOF IS THE WORSE PART OF THE CAR ... AND I WORK IN A BODY SHOP SO MY BOSS SAID HE CAN FIX IT . SO WE WILL SEE WHAT BECOMES OF THE BMW 2002

Got tired of blowing the motors in them! nice to see your 02 does`nt have a bunch of shit piled inside or invaded by rats or bees looks straight forward from my view best of luck and have fun with it
