    Default Saturday...

    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

    Default *Update*

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



    But that's not the end... then I went to pick up the new-old car...




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


    Today I couldn't get the stupid pressure washer to fire up, so soap and bucket here we come...







    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

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

    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.

    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 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

    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.

    Haven't pulled the carpet to check the pedal box yet, but I think I'm in good shape on the shock towers

    Looks good!

    Have you found bmw2002faq? 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.
