Saturday...

[Echonova]

I'm going to pick up my new-used car... Kinda highjacked the '74 Datsun thread so I figured I'd start mah own.

'74 2k2
I'm so excited about this I can't stand it. Rust on the hood is surface rust. Lower airdam... well gonna need some more love. Rust free everywhere else. I swear the body is practically dent-free

The car is on a secret military complex being guarded by a full legion of ninjas

[Revmaynard]

Damn! Army ninjas? You can't has. lol

[Echonova]

That's ok. Gonna do the 5 speed conversion anyway. That way, when my old man gets outta prison. We can ride in style.

[Revmaynard]

LOLOL.

I loaded the 240 to go to Killswitch to have the motor fixed...

The most dangerous place on Earth is between a camera and my daughter...

Still need to vacuum it out and wash/wax it about 20 more times to get everything, but not bad for 1.5 hours and a bucket of water...

I not sure the camera really show what shade of Dukes of Hazzard orange this car really is... LOL

[Revmaynard]

Badass! I wish I'd known you were down this way! I'm going to do terrible things to the 240. :ninja: It cleaned up really well.

[03RCode]

I does love that orange, please tell me its staying that color. That 240 is cleeeannn as well.

[Master Shake]

nice car, man.
looks really good.
and am i readin it right with under 21k miles?

[Kaiser]

Only a 5 digit odo, so probably 120/220

My 240z has 10598 on the Odo at the moment, and would be worth quite a few more pennies if those were all the miles it had.

[Master Shake]

i was about to say, hotdamnitson.
that would be fucking sweet. i'd just fix the minor suface rust and buff the rest of the car.
original paint FTW!

[X-Runner]

The scottsman told me about this today... nice little car.

[Scotsman]

yeah , my paint skills suck ,lmao!

[Echonova]

LOL awesome pic Scotty.

Yes it's staying the factory color. Yes, the Odo has rolled once, it's @ 120-ish. I am the third owner and have the contact info on for both owners. Was running when it was parked ten years ago...

I does love that orange, please tell me its staying that color. That 240 is cleeeannn as well.I lub mah 240 but I think it's gonna be on e-Bay soon though. I'm more excited about the 2k2 than I have been about a car in a while. Mo money = sooner it's done. But we'll see. I may just keep them both.

However I will have to add twice as many stickers to the Bimmer. It needs all the Hp it can get, and everyone knows stickers = 50Hp's each

I'm going to have to get Decker to :ninja: yer car.

[Echonova]

I'm going to have to get Decker to :ninja: yer car.Have Decker :ninja: the bill while he's at it.:lmfao:


Decker is the Mother F-ing man for those who don't know...

Looks like a great start for an '02 project. Be sure to check the pedal box, which is under the fuel, brake and clutch pedals; they are very prone to rust. Also, I'm guessing the rear shock towers are in good shape? They *can* be replaced if there's rust, but it's pretty major surgery.

I have an e21 3.91 open diff, if you want one for the 5-speed conversion.

:goodjob: Looks good!

Have you found bmw2002faq (http://www.bwm2002faq.com)? I found it somewhat helpful when I was entertaining restoring a '76 '02. I really should have hung on to that car. There will be another...one day.

[Thighs]

so should i get one or not...?
