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...

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.

Drove two hours on back roads yesterday.  Pure joy,

been on the scales - could have saved my time. Apart from disconnecting and re-connecting swaybars no adjustments necessary. Already hit the spot.

? Barney does it again! ?

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.

 

 

On to the next job!

[Howie]

not sure this work really counts, but waiting for parts, so made these today...

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.

After fitting a new throttle cable, I synced the carbs, oiled up new filters and am going for a ride

Cars & coffee & canines in KayCee.

That stablemate looked pretty sleek from the side. From the rear, not so much.
