    I've spent the last 4 days up to my elbows in 2002s... from installing a dash to redoing the pinch welding and new rubbers I've done it all. I've remained calm and patient. I purchased an Inka 74 that I drove for the first time on Saturday - over 2 years since I last drove a 2002! I had a grin ear to ear! Great day! I'm really looking forward to taking the Polaris for a drive.

    not in my opinion...frugal me tried that route...it sux a big one....it dulls more frequently than occasionally...it will dull at the touch....if you want lifetime maintenance i say go for it, otherwise, invest in a good used set or call blunt Hahaha, I haven't been around here for a while... Esty, you've changed!

    Try here for the store. Also try Blunt - unkorama@gmail.com he might be able to get you an OEM kit at a reasonable price...

    I was wondering where the cheapest place to purchase an under hood sticker kit? Including battery/filter/body color/etc. I'm after a place that sells them cost affectively. Any ideas or suggestions where? Its one of those finishing touches that I have to add. Thank you in advance!

    Ahhhh shiiiit balls! I just saw this mate! I wasn't able to talk yesterday as I was driving in traffic in my Inka with no windows in it in the rain... it was a bit noisy hahahaha! Good luck with getting it sorted out. Go and get a quite from Charlie Battisti & Co. They will fix the car up perfectly! Todd

    Mine is my first car... sentimental... yes. If this car could tell a story... I'd be in jail! I got my first speeding fine, learned to smoke out neighbourhoods, spent late nights fooling about in the back seats, rallying with all the lads in the car... my sentimental tweak was that I am restoring it when I will never get the cash back! Chances are I will never get any money in return for it if I sold it... its a labor of love. Ask Steve, I hope he made a killing out of all the parts I'v brought from him. Last night we put the roof lining in (OEM part along with replacing all the trims, etc. OEM rubbers) the bits inside with new bits or parts sourced locally that were better than mine...

    Wow, you spent all that time on a car that looks like that!?! What were you thinking? I thought you had good taste Steve... a 2002? Who'd blow all their hard earned on an old BMW? I always knew you were crazy! Oh, yeah... it looks sweet! How fast did you go? More pics in the daylight!! I hope your wife appreciates how hard you worked to make her car look that good.

    I started to pull the orange car down... there is a lot of damage an its quite expensive to fix. Not looking good for the car :-( The bloke who does my work says theres a fair bit of $$ in the B pillar alone, not to mention the other parts I need.. I've driven it and its great fun though! Be it with very flat spotted tyres.

    Its expensive, yet far more rewarding than a crack habit....

    Can someone please clean this spammin' shhiiittt up... I have updates just around the corner. I just got a package in from a certain *not so sharp* BMW parts dealer from the US and its all go again... Thanks Steve! In the mean time, I have purchased this little unit. The car won the 2003 BMWCCV Show & Shine master class, numerous awards and has featured in The Age newspaper... it was immaculately restored around 7 years ago. 1974 BMW 2002 2.0lt twin 40 webers w/ electronic ignition, fuel pump, etc. Koni adjustables, Eibach springs Fatter sway bars 5 speed conversion 323i disc brake rear end Cibie Oscar driving lights with factory driving light switch Mahle bottle cap wheels x5 Ansa sports exhaust Scheel leather seats Alpina Momo steering wheel New seat belts Perfect black interior Crack free dash Nakamichi head unit with Boston Acoustic speakers Immaculate though out... Only problem is the car was t-boned by a truck recently and the drivers side needs a lot of work. I'm not sure what I am going to do with it as it is quite an expensive repair job.

    Hurry up and get the damn thing finished! I want to see it! Hahaha Nice work Steve. I have'nt forgotten about the part numbers, just been run off my feet.

    That Sentra doesnt look like it has much tread on the tyres! :-P

    Thanks for the kind words Michael... I love that picture as well! The timing was PERFECT and a really did fluke that shot! I will send you an email with a higher res version of the image, Jake. Will it list who the image is by on the picture page? I would appreciate that. Cheers, Todd

    Hey Steve or Rob, Can you please tidy up the last page of my blog to remove the hideous spam! Hopefully I will have an update for you all with more progress soon! Todd

    Dam! You're good! Dead on. My 18 y/o daughter runs and hides when I announce that! Actually, many are merely using the "timer" option. Once I set the timer and ran to get into position...I tripped and fell....this was the end result: Here's my wife...she has a sense of humor!! Classic!
