Hi, I am new to this Forum and thought that I would share some pictures of my 72 tii restoration.
First a little history of the car as the owner still had the dealer paperwork.
This is from my post a few years ago on the BMW CCA site
1972 2002tii
150,000 mi
Factory options were;
rear window defogger $41
MXAS tires $27
reclining seats $45
tinted glass $58
leatherette seats, another $45
metallic paint $175 (ceylon)
AM/FM radio $180
The car is pretty much stock with the
exception of the Recaro's and the wheels.
There has been a new carpet kit installed
and the engine has been gone over just recently
and found to be quite strong.
I found this car under a tarp and belonging to an
elderly customer. He said that he had got it new
and drove it to work for many years. He said that
it was the best car that he ever had (and he was
a doctor). He told me that he had given the car
to his son but that he had since died. He drove
the car from Los Angeles to Whidbey Island in
1995 and when he got here he took it to a
local mechanic (bad idea). When he got it back
he noticed a gas smell and saw gas leak from
the injection pump. He shut it off and covered it
with a tarp for 8 years. I asked if he would sell it
and he said sure "tow it away". Which I gladly
did that same day!!
Oh yeah, the gas leak was caused by not replacing
an O-ring.
