Update on 1975 BMW 2002…
Zeke wants to ride in the old car…but he sheds too much. Don’t need the dog hair in any cars! She is not running yet anyway. Several folks who keep up with these kinds of things have asked how the project is coming along. Taking things slow to make sure we don’t have to undo anything before all is done properly. The weather is colder so that slows down ideal temp for some steps (rust work and paint) but the mechanics can move on! Got the gas tank back in, working on trunk stuff. Moving battery to trunk, installed rear strut brace, repaired spare tire well (rusted out). Parts are coming in and will be installed in due time: cool new aluminum radiator, all new hoses and clamps, fuel lines and clamps, starter, fuel pump, water pump, alternator, fuel tank gaskets, engine gaskets of all sorts, thermostat, plugs, wires, belts, filters, new air dam, trim clips, driver door mirror, license tag lights, coil, and other various and asunder thing-a-ma-bobs. Just dropped her down from jack stands with sport springs, sport shocks, larger front disc brakes, converting rear drums to disc, and new tires. Wanted to see how she looked in her lower profile. Looks awesome! Pictures don’t do justice, but gotta post one anyway. Still to order: bushing for suspension, carpet, rear bumper and other yet to be seen needs and goodies. Bimmer magazine just had a brief article about the rising popularity of 02s. That’s cool.
