What did you do to your 2002 today !

We took the ‘73 for its engine rebuild. Note my carefully applied “Barn Find” finish! ?

Those were damned good years, Tom! It hurts to pull off those Georgia plates (although the car has been registered and insured up here since 2016)!

 

Best regards,

Not cheap but works well, have the screwdriver/ratchet holders also. Tools don't slide around and saves time looking for stuff.

I have six sets of screwdriver holder and four of the wrench, need another four of the wrench holders. I always wait for a sale. Also opened up two drawers for more tools.?

Working my way to getting the head removed, so cleaning up a bit as I go...

Hey, Rick,

 

VAC Motorsports out of Philly is doing the engine overhaul. They appear to be a BMW racing engine specialist. My “local ‘02 specialist”, Jack Miller (Jack’s Auto and Aero) of Bainbridge, PA, is handling the engine removal, reinstallation, coordination, and tuning. Jack — who is close to my age — still owns his father’s ‘67 Alpina-modified 1600-2, providing as much street cred as I need...

 

I wanted to meet the engine builder at VAC, however, before my precious block went to him. He was excellent, reasonable, experienced. But I was VERY put off by the young VAC salesman, who had never heard of a 2002 or tii!!! ??

 

When I showed up at Jack’s with the car, I said “Let’s just ship the engine to Korman — they did a great job with my ‘76”. But after a discussion with Jack regarding what VAC’s engine builder had historically done with other of Jack’s projects, I decided I would get a first-rate job at VAC, given Jack’s history and relationship with them.

 

So that’s where I’m at.

 

The car was factory Inka, home-painted Malaga in the 1980’s. We’ll get to the paint next!

 

Regards,

 

Steve

Gas Tank stripped,Red-Kote, primed, painted gloss black on top and Raptor bed liner on the bottom.

Raptor lining needs to cure for three days. Pretty happy with it.

 

 

[MYBMWHabit]

that tank looks awesome!  How does that RedCoat stuff work?

 Trying to figure out all of that for both of mine...

Amazing what a bit of polishing compound did for my rust rocket ??
 

(color variance is just the difference between natural light from open garage door and garage fluorescents.)

Copied some members here and made a fuel pick up tool.

Replace the throttle cable from the foot box to the plunger, and two of the cables from the plunger to the carbs (the last photo is of the two were bent from binding on the hood before I cut a window in it). 

 

I put some shrink tube on where the cable from the foot box goes into the plunger, that’s what broke, thus causing me to having an replace it (photo #5)

 

Re-synched the carbs, took it for a test drive, ready to roll this Saturday for the “Neue Klasse” in Los Gatos.
