How messy of a situation is this?

This one picture doesn't show any rust (weird), so so far you are winning.  More pictures to show the rest of the car?  These days there is no such thing as a complete 02 for 2 Gs.  I think you are doing well.  The engine will MOST DEFINITELY need a rebuild: $4K to $14K IMO.

 

Bring it back to life!  You are welcome here.

What Paul said^!

 

But I still don’t know what the deuce is a “deuce”.... ?


Looks like a “late 1971”, produced April 1971 or later.  And is it Polaris-metallic (a.k.a., silver)?  Email your car’s VIN to BMW Group Archives (info.grouparchiv@bmwgroup.com) and request their data on the car. It’s free. If the engine number is not the same as the VIN (i.e., engine is not original), send  the engine number as well, to see where the engine originated.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

no haha, I did look under the hood. Well, dad did most of that. This is a father son build so I'm just the assistant lol.

He's more car savy I'm a bit more tech savy. This community is awesome and I'm looking forward to asking more questions

You and your dad could not have picked a better car to work on.  You will have sooo much fun restoring it piece by piece and having something in the end that will be beautiful and heaps of fun to drive as well.

Payed two g's for a '71 deuce.

In the 2002 world, a 2002 is an '' '02".  A "deuce" is a '32 Ford hot rod (as in the Beach Boys song, "Little Deuce Coupe."

 

Looks like whatcha got is a very original '71 that hasn't been messed with much--I can see it still has the front spring spacers in place, and can see some of the emission stuff laying atop the block.  I'd wager the block is the original one--the engine number will be on a machined pad just above where the starter motor is bolted to the block--and if it matches the VIN, it's the original.

 

Welcome to the '02 fraternity/sorority.  If your Dad is engine savvy, him and a machine shop can make pretty short work of an engine rebuild.  Don't be shy about asking questions, lotsa knowledge on this board.

    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
