Just got my new wiring harness from Autosparks in England.  Have not installed it yet but looks really nice. 

 

I was just going to say please tell us more about this, but then I saw you're in Boulder.  When you get the chance, I'd love to come down and check it out- my car's wiring harness has had a rough life, and this might be the easiest / best solution- just start over...

Moved my 72tii outside to load it on the trailer to take to have headliner installed...

 

What?  Barney, I didn't know you had limitations.  I mean, I'm still super impressed, and if I was ever in a rush to get a car done you'd be the first person I'd call for help...  But I just, thought, you know...  Anyway- car looks great. :)

...waiting for a brake booster rebuild to return so I can complete brake and axles rebuilds...so...

 

For 5 years I have accumulated hundreds of service and repair articles (mostly 2002 FAQ posts) on 2002's and have put them in binders in a sorta, pseudo, kinda, quasi order/grouping that was less-than-easy to use (Photo 1).  Today I organized them. 

 

1.  Listed the service/repair groupings according to the numbered tabs in the blue BMW Service Manual (Photo 2)

2.  Placed each of my service group/tabs within the most apropos BMW service group/tab (Photo 2).

3.  Made dividers and tabs for all of my service groups (Photo 3).  

4.  Assembled all in binders (Photos 4 & 5).  

5.  Large projects were in separate binders.

 

My cars already perform better...40 mpg and 15 more hp.

Finally got the rain scuttle welded in.

 

We first spot-welded the newly made firewall isolation clips into their place. I got the old ones of by using the power file which made quick and easy work of this.

Glad I remade these in the correct gauge/thickness.

Also test fitted an old rubberdrain hose to check the oval hole that needed to be remade in the middle.

Finally getting close to done.. welded in free rain tray scrap from fellow Faq’er. It was a little short on one side so had to weld in a little chunk. I have learned a lot in this process!

 

I think I am officially done with the welder!

Installed an electric fan and wired in the controller.  I'll add a manual ON switch and monitor light on the console.

Cleaned up and re-sprayed the radiator before re-installing.

As I had free access to the crank pulley, I set my valve clearance.

Adjusted the tophat on the WUR for proper gap on the verboten screw on the WUR lever to correct a persistent high idle.

    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
