How 'bout A Gtg Sometime This Month?

[artbo]

Better chance of making the 28th for me, but would try for the 22nd. There is a vintage race at Pueblo the weekend before, June 14/15. We had twelve 02's in our group year before last! Usually at least five or six. If anyone wants to come watch/hangout.

[Slightly Larger Roundies]

June 22nd is good for me, but I could do the 28th also.

 Red Rocks 6/22

[Andy74tii]

As of now, I would be good with Red Rocks on the 22nd. On a side note, I passed by a red 02 this weekend out near Leyden, which is my regular fun drive.... was that you Jim?

[visionaut]

Hi again, guys.

 

Well, so far I count 5 preferences for 6/22 at Red Rocks, and 1 preference for 6/28 in Golden.  It's also nice to see that most folks who've voted would try to make the other date if their first choice wasn't selected...

 

I was hoping we'd get a few more votes by now.  Maybe if you know any of the folks who haven't yet responded with a vote, and who indicated an earlier interest in this thread, you can try contacting them to weigh in? [That'd be m6smitten, littleguyschultz, Orange02, and garya at least.]  I'll also try another 'invite PM'...

 

We'll make a decision/selection by this coming Saturday, whether we get any additional votes or not.  If it's just gonna be a half dozen of us, so be it.   I think it's best to pin it down with at least 2 weeks advance notice.

 

Recall again -- feel free to mention this meet to any of your friends that are into 2002s or other classic Bimmers, and it's cool to come out even without your own 02.

 

Later,

Tom

I live in Golden, so either date and time works for me.  Right now my car sprung a leak and losing oil out of the front right side of the block.  I haven't had the chance to diagnose, but thinking it might be the timing cover.

[visionaut]

Hi A.  Hope the leak's not too bad (not gushing, just dripping).  Try to make it out even if your 02 can't - we'd like to meet/see all our local FAQers.

 

Regards,

Tom

I've heard back from Shawn Morrissey and 70deluxe.  Both are also in for Red Rocks on 6/22.  Looks like we have a date/location!  Still awaiting replies from a couple others - maybe we'll get to a dozen...

[littleguyschultz]

Sounds goods! I don't know what car I will have, but it should be a good time. Right after ofest too.

 

So hopefully some of us 02 owners can make it to Drive 4 corners also!

It's now set.

 

We'll be holding our first FAQ Rocky Mountain 2002ers Meet in 2 weeks.  Thanks everyone for your interest! 

 

Date:  Sunday June 22nd, at 1:00pm

Location:  Red Rocks Park, in Morrison, CO.

We'll meet and congregate at the wonderful Red Rocks Trading Post parking area, which is located mid-way up into the Park, just below the Concert Amphitheater.  The park should NOT have a concert that date.  The Trading Post should be open, giving us a nice, cozy casual option for some food/refreshments while we hang out.  Afterwards, we can possibly head along to up-top of the Amphitheater, for some photo-ops by the roadway Arch there, and other scenic vistas.

 

Location Map:  http://redrocksonlin...ll_Road_Map.jpg

 

Our event will also include a 2002 Trunk Parts Swap!  So bring along any misc 'smaller' 02 related parts or other items you might like to barter/trade/sell out of your trunk amongst the Meet attendees.

 

We can decide at the meet if we'll also do a short zig-zag Group Drive afterwards up Hwy 74 to Evergreen, CO.

 

-

 

So everyone come on out in your 2002s, or whatever else you can drive if your 02 is off the road at the moment, and meet your fellow Rocky Mountain 2002 FAQers.  If you'd like, feel free to also include/invite any friends to come along who enjoy or also drive classic Bimmers.

 

Prior to the meet, check in here for any changes (the only one I can anticipate might be a bad-weather-related postponement -- so wish for nice weather!).  If I've forgotten anything, or you have anything else to share - don't hesitate to post up.

 

See ya there!

So, regarding the 2002 Trunk Parts Swap Extravaganza! I'll start it off with my wish list and a list of a few things that I have available.

 

Wanted: 

 

A full set of13" or 14" Minilite/Panasport style wheels that actually fit a 2002.  Really early original Magnesium wheels need not apply, I want save "driver" wheels.  Gigantically wide wheels need not apply.  E21 offset wheels need not apply.  Bent wheels or wheels with damaged stud holes need not apply.  Wheels that need cosmetic restoration are OK.    OK, the odds are slim, but asking never hurts...

 

Pretty much any or all New or NOS restoration parts.  I need to buy almost everything for the 1600.

 

For Sale:  These are all larger items, so I'll only bring these with me IF someone expresses interest ahead of time and we've talked over the price.

 

Uncracked one piece dashboard.  It has the hole for the seatbelt light and the 4 speed silkscreening. 

 

Dashboard overlay.  This is a molded hard plastic one piece overlay that will hide your dashboard's cracks (mostly) and look much better than a shag carpet overlay. 

 

E21 turbine wheels, in various states of beauty but all good working wheels.  I have several full sets or single wheels available.  Another long shot, that there's any demand for these.  They do work in most situations and are a cheap way to get into alloy wheels. The price will be right.... 

 

I'll be bringing:

 

A few of my Auto Trunk openers and my salesman's sample in case anyone's interested.  I won't be bringing any sales pressure.

 

A few boxes of small items- switches, trim pieces, etc...

 

Who's next?  Add you wants and items for sale here....

[Slightly Larger Roundies]

I'll have for sale:

 

e12 Head. 1986 Casting. Just pulled from my car. Works and makes good power but may need valve stem seals.

Gig Lookers Welcome!

Jim

[garya]

Going to TRY to make it!

 

The new engine is in, but still needs some sorting... plus I need to bleed the brakes and get an alignment after the front subframe swap.  

 

Long story... but my back hurts from all the work I've done on the car in the last 3 months!!

 

I'll load up my trunk with a bunch of the leftover tasty bits from the parts car.  Let me know if you need anything specific from a '74.
