other What Did You Do For Your '02 Today?

[evbimmer]

I see this type of topic on another forum that I visit almost daily its one of the first threads I view. I thought that it would be a good idea for our forum as it's a great way to show the love that we have for our cars whether it be daily maintenance, a project or a major restoration.

I'll start. Nothing major, I have been trying to do at least one thing every day to my newly acquired 72 Tii. Today I ordered some new KugelFischer hoses from Blunt in hopes of installing this weekend and getting the car drivable again!

HAHA, Well..... So much for searching.

 

I am admittedly a newbie here and was just trying to help but thanks for setting me straight. Perhaps that would make a good sticky. Who knows.

 Searching is good but I admit to many failures, sometimes I just can't think of that magic word that will find the topic.

it is cold here nine degrees, 76 sienna brown is in garage under the covers, looked into free flow exhaust prices today and called my clock repair shop to see if my BMW clock has been repaired yet. wishing for warmer days and spring drives not to mention degree days where the wrench will not stick to my bare skin

happy day:)-

Renewed the plates for both cars; they're all snuggled in for the winter under nice, soft blankets in the garage, awaiting spring, when both cars will receive nice new urethane rear swaybar bushings.

 

Too cold to do much of anything in the garage right now...

Getting ready to unleash mine for the drive home on Friday, it's been in the garage and under the car cover for the 3 weeks I've been here at my dad's.  The forecast shows clear weather for the drive.

 

Cheers,

I drove my car today, and every day since the day I bought it (Dec 20th, 2013). LOVE Cali weather (but we really need RAIN)

Glued the door seals.

Hey Evbimmer,

 

Word of warning.  At the KF pump end of the fuel lines, in the bottom of the holes in the pump are "crush" washers.  Meant to be used only once.  If you're lucky you may get a good seal with the old ones, but it is wise to buy new ones when re-installing. Ask me how I know.  If you tighten the fitting and still have leakage, it's probably because the washer/seal is too flat or misshapened.

 

Good luck.

I picked up my polished big bumpers for the 02 and then washed another BMW in 35 degree weather. -Raine
