1972 02 Project for sale

[javistor]

Looking to part ways with my 72 02' project. Unfortunately I've come to the realization that my time is limited I don't want this project to sit around forever taking space in my garage. I purchased the car in mostly original condition about 2 years ago; it was running rough and will need an engine rebuild. My plans were to rebuild/modify not to original condition therefore I've been buying parts randomly that would be suitable to my plans. The car was stripped by me and only has the engine, tranny and rear glass still on but I kept all the original pieces that were removed. It was missing the front bumper and some of the exterior trim when I bought it but I've gotten a recondition bumper since. Some of the parts that I bought in the last two years;

Zender front spoiler

Black Recaro front seats

E24 rear seats (I was planning on doing the rear seat conversion)

New pedal box with pedals and associated hardware

New carpet

IE aluminum radiator

Front door panels (new from Roger tii, in the last two weeks $650)

Extra front fender (driver side)

Used spare wheel well (I removed the old one since it was rusted)

extra gas tank (used, great condition)

Extra set of door panel backing (wood)

Other misc parts that need to be inventoried

Other items worth mentioning; hood is in good shape but it will need the trunk lid since the current could be fixed but you will be better off finding another one. The pasenger side door looks it was replaced at some point. The rust in the car is minimum considering the age, around the pedal box, very little at the bottom of one fender and some small spots in the rocker panels. Floor boards are in great shape and so are the shock towers. I will throw in a one owner 1975 02' that was given to me recently, I was hoping to restore this one to original condition but it has rust in all the wrong places (shock towers, etc) therefore it will make a nice donor car (it was recently listed in the Tejas Chapter) Finally, the reason for posting here is hoping that someone in the area will be interested since I have no plans on assisting with shipping because of my limited free time. Also it would be easier to inspect and make sure I am being accurate with my description. I will consider parting out as last resort... Thanks!

(Not sure how successful I'll be posting pics but feel free to ask and I will e-mail as many as needed)

If you do decide to part out, I am interested in the Recaro seats, and maybe some odd parts.

I just bought a Touring and need some functioning seats.

thanks,

Second in line for the Recaros. Maybe other parts as well.

How much were you asking for the car?

I'll keep you posted, thanks for you interest!

Considering that most of the original parts removed are still available + extra parts + donor car I would like to get $2500 but I will consider any reasonable offers... BTW here is a pic of the last one I restored over 10 years ago, painted Calypso Red next to Bert's 02

Where are you located?

I only know of two Tourings in Texas, and I have one of them.

Now there is 3.

Just brought it in to the state, west Austin area.

Good to know there are a few around. Starting my parts list, do you know where I can find the hatch gas damper thingees?

Strange pet peeve I have, hatches falling on my head.

thanks,

West Austin? Nice to hear another Faq member is in the area! I'm up in Cedar Park.

What kind of condition is the front fender in? Picture? Just up the road a tad bit north of Austin and can whip down.

I replaced mine about 7~8 yrs ago when the bloody hatch fell on me. It was a bugger to get back out.

I bought them from Walloth & Nesch in Germany, and have since bought a pair for spares when they had them on sale.

Part # 51 24 1 803 128

Currently they are 44Euro each ($57).

My normal (cheap as you can get) place in the US has them for $64 each.

I keep a record of all 02s, please email me your VIN, exterior colour. I know of 55 Tourings in the US, so I may already have it.
