The black engine bay and trunk are almost always a turn off for me. Like unfinished business or worse, what are they hiding.

The incorrect nose is a bummer on what appears  to be a nice car.  Correct dash would be nice also.

Without seeing underside would agree high teens to low 20's.   Downside is what's wrong would take some effort to correct.

Still I like it. glws

The original owner of this lived in my town.  Would see it around town all the time.  Owned it a few years,then sold it couple years back.   You could rent it for party's and  promo stuff.

Looking for rectangular spare tire hold down for my 73 2002.

Went for an hour spin and been having a small clunk in the right front. Nothing appeared that it was about to fall off,

so continued the drive.  When home checked the right front and all tight so was going to pull caliper to get a better look at things.  Started with the caliper brake pad pins. They were corroded and pretty dirty.

So stuck them in my cordless drill and hit them with scotchbrite and steel wool. Cleaned up where the pads sit in the caliper.

Back together fifteen minute drive and no more clunk so I did the driver side also.

Braking was fine before but I think a pad was hanging up a bit.

before and after 

Rebuilt the shifter with all new parts and a couple of missing parts. Was missing spring and proper washer.

I also tried to replace the selector rod joint. I had a new one and could not get the pin to seat.

I had read its a pia but my skinny hands could fit up there no problem.  I deburred it, polished the pin and still no luck

It would go in all but a couple millimeters. I had my Son give it a go with no luck. 

I drilled it out to see if that helped but still no luck. 

Ended up the pin/dowel hole was off center by almost a millimeter. WTF,,

I pressed  out the bushing and small foam piece and installed them in the old selector rod joint.

The transmission now shifts great and appears to work as it should.

Maybe this winter I'll install a new selector rod joint because no idea how long this one will last.

I think I have six to eight hours over three days messing with it.

Beer is now being consumed.  On to the next project.

Jp, I know that's true of the e-tubes for dcoe's, but for other Webers I don.t know if or if not that holds true but would like to know. One thing I do know about Weber carbs is consistency is not their strong point. 

Dooh,  my comprehension is bad.  I have DCOE's so doesn't  everyone ? ☹️   Was not thinking 32/36 which I know nothing.

I don't think your far off.   The two tone paint  and mismatched seats are the biggest drawbacks I think visually.

Seats could be a easy fix for buyer.  With some effort and less than 10k  someone could have a pretty decent driver.

I say $7500 to $9000.    

I watched the progress on this 02. You did a lot of work to it.. GLWS

I read somewhere that emulsion tube numbers are from the order they were produced/manufactured. 

Crazy  I know.    Not if their a rich or lean tube.  

How bad of shape is your old tank ?   If the tank is junk I would cut off the long filler neck and weld it to the new tank.

Your going to need the gasket and flange that attach to the quarter panel  also.

I don't see why you can't swap the rubber filler neck and correct gaskets.  

My concern would be the rear quarter panel body mount.  Are they different or all quarter panel openings the same ? 

Should it not bolt right right up ?

I agree, great writeup! 

 

I have a general caution to add, not directly related to your work.  I recently purchased two of the voltmeter/USB units as shown in the photo.  In a bench test with a good digital voltmeter to compare with, one of the two read the voltage correctly, the other showed a voltage 1.6 volts below the actual voltage.  It would still work for relative readings, but worthless in the situation you had.

I thought about adding the USB voltmeter but have heard complaints of them not being accurate.

Please report back on your findings.  

Agreed great write up,  

Installed an Inertia Relay for the fuel pump today.  I truly hate soldering,, 

NAPA has a Classic line of wiper blades also.  I purchased mine from them, from a recommendation of someone on the FAQ.  Work great and match the car perfect.

I paid around five dollars for a used one. Placed ad in Parts Wanted section.

These showed up today, ordered a bunch of shifter parts also.

Okay did the google thing and still not quite sure what shifter I have.  My 73 has a 245, 5 speed conversion  245.0.540.00.  My shifter has the sloppy feel bad from left to right.

I pulled the shifter and think I'm missing a few parts ??  Their isn't the spring  23411200845 or the spacer sleeve  23411200844.  Also appear to be missing the plastic washers that

go to the shifter linkage  25111220439.  Pictures of what i found.  Looking to confirm I need a few more parts or is what I have correct ?   I used Real OEM parts for a 320i transmission.
