I finally finished my custom carpet install!  I’ve been working on this for almost 2 months now. It’s been a lot of effort and a lot of learning, but I’m super happy with how it came out. It all fits

Nobody going to raz this guy for using SAE bolts in an 02?  :)

5/16" is almost 8mm.  ;)

 

Haha.  I don't have a lot of metric available near me and the vintage is coming.  There was also a 5/16 in there that was about an inch too long, that's why I replaced it.

Got the interior 98% put together: gauge cluster is back in, console is buttoned up, wired up the speedhut AFR gauge but ran into an issue.

For some reason it isn’t showing any data and the led will double flash every few seconds. Have a trouble ticket out to speedhut to see what they think. Hopefully I don’t have to pull that gauge back out as it’ll require removing the front left speaker, the gauge cluster, and feeding a bunch of hard to get to wires through the side of the dash...

OK, Paul. I’ve got this!

 

WTF, Mpower5266!  Putting SAE bolts on an ‘02 alternator is certainly going to switch your car’s electricals to a positive-ground system. I’ve seen it a dozen times. You better start ripping out the wire harness now, before it starts smoldering....???

 

Better?

 

Best regards,

Always wanted my trunk to function

Not being a smart arse..... honest.

But what is the thing with putting the fuel filler in the trunk?

Am I missing something here! Is it a problem with US fuel additives, I know I spill fuel mote often than not, but I just wipe it down at the garage and give it a quick wash at home if I've really made a mess, never had an issue in 30+ years, just wondering if it's a new issue I need to look out for?

From what I hear it's only us in California - maybe someone else can chime in. But we have these spring loaded fuel fillers that create a reverse spray affect somehow on my car.

 

Every time I pull the spring back I get fuel everywhere. the diesel style pumps would be better because we can stick it further down and not splatter. 

 

I know its not the end of the world, but if I dont have a rag or my car is dirty, it makes it worse. I prefer the no spill, no cleanup method.

C’mon now, he is using funny sized bolts not a Lucas alternator.

    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
