I missed driving my 02 so much...my heart is racing after I heard the motor fire up and idle.

Thanks so much Dave @ Aardvark racing (switching the trans pick up did the trick), Paul, Matt and Jim @ Maximillian. These guy made it possible for a weekend mechanic to do the conversion.

Two minor things that need to be adjusted to make it road worthy 1) linkage is not allowing the trans to go into 2nd. 2) Custom radiator hoses has a minor leak.

I gave my two kids and my wife a big kiss...they havent seen much of me since I've been working OT to get this project done.

I'll be posting some pictures soon.

I saw a Jaguar XK140 painted a similar color, but have not seen another car since (this was ~1992, at the Brookline show in MA). I took tons of photos because I wanted my next 'old' car to look something like that, but could not find the owner to ask what paint he used.

I think my monitor must be too dark or something. Seems a bit darker than usual. Thanks! Car looks great.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
