About this blog
Hi I’m Nate. This blog is about a 1972 BMW 2002 ‘roundie’ that I am restoring. I am located In Marino, South Australia and the car was bought from Tin Can Bay, North QLD in June 2021.
Car was delivered down to me in South Oz by Broady Express Transport (highly recommend).
The car is currently a rolling shell and came complete with basically all parts needed to rebuild, although is very much apart at the moment!
Previous owner has done a lot of the rust repairs and hand shaped some cool metal flares for the front and rear and a custom chin spoiler to match, although will change the chin spoiler as not huge on the shape.
My goal is to reproduce a 70s Alpina replica period racer look with the inka and black color scheme, rebuild the engine to be a nice punchy 2L street car with the occasional spirited drive through the hills, track days and potentially hill climbs (someday).
I am a civil engineer during the week and a father at night and weekends of two boys (5yo and 2yo) and another boy expected within the next few days and married to Georgia, my far better half!
Due to working full time and having my hands full with a young family, time is not my friend lately although hope to at-least get the car panel and paint work done before the end of 2021 and the man start to slowly piece the car back together as time permits!
I will post up the build as it progresses and look forward to hearing from others on this BMW 2002 faq along the way.
