    Abandoned project.... 1969 1600 no sunroof Was planning on making it into a vintage racer. I have decided to focus my energy on my e30 m3. -blasted 1600 shell (6 fuse) with no significant structural rust. All blasted and ready to be caged (might need a dusting from sitting). Heater tray has been removed and misc hole in engine bay have been welded. Poor old rust repair on spare tire well. Car assembled with full interior and glass weighed 1964 lbs. No secret its all bare metal and showing. On cart ready to be moved. Comes with two OEM fenders with no reflector holes drilled in them. -3 pc dash shows some use not all cracked up. -Stahle Headers (sold) -Set of Bilstein sports 1000 miles on them 20 years old -Early gauge cluster all restored (sold) -Clear rear glass -All red tail lights (sold) -21/19 sway bars -built 1600ti engine. Ti pistons, 118 head, with very good compression(180, 181, 178, 182) Full receipts on build from 20 years ago. Head is off for inspection and cosmetic restoration. Has 6 bolt crank. Have flywheel for 6 bolt crank. Has 1000 miles but has sat for 20 years. Mechanically sound but seals may need replacing. -Front subframe steering parts -Cool set of vintage 13x7 basket weaves.

    And I considered e30 forums bad! I guess 02s will never be more than a cheap car you pick up on the side of the road for $500. It's too bad!

    I really need to get cash for this dash. I did say best offer so please feel free to make offers. The car is becoming a vintage race car so I have no need for seat belts and carpets. PS I work at Sports Car Restoration and I believe we have more 2002 restoration/track projects in the works than any other shop in the US. I have a pretty good idea for what these parts are trading for and how hard it can be to find them.

    I have a really good condition 3 piece dash. It has a few small cracks that I have photos of. I'm asking $500 obo plus shipping this dash is in good enough shape to be put in anything but a concours car. These are hard to find anymore and even harder in this condition. top center on lower dash glove box left vent gauge consol

    Bristol, Nevada, or Tampico. Bristol and Nevada could have been on a 72 tii.

    If you don't have access to a bead roller and or a brake both of these tools functions can be replicated with normal workshop tools. For the break you can use a vise, find two pieces of steel or preferably aluminum stock with a straight edge 1/2 or thicker and as wide as the piece being worked. Clamp the piece in the vise at the desired bend. Then use a rubber mallet to work the piece over the edge creating the bend. Using the mallet and aluminum will stop the steel from being crushed and stretching. As for the bead roller I would suggest finding a groove or a rut in a solid steel piece (or make one clamp two pieces of steel together). Clamp the work piece on the grooved block. Using a body hammer (small ball peen will work) hammer through the groove creating a groove in the work piece. We use this more often then most would think even though we have a bead roller. Here is a great write up on sheet metal fab from my boss at SCR Matt McGinn. http://www.sports-car-restoration.com/forum2/index.php?topic=14.0 As far as removing paint sand paper, sand blasting, or a cookie on a die grinder are your best bet. Chemicals I have found not to work very well. For under coat you need to physically scrap off the rubber. I would use a propane torch and a inch wide metal scraper. Heat the scraper very hot and it will cut through the undercoating and seam sealer. Beware that the undercoat will catch fire but is easily put out. Good luck, Nate

    Make sure the mount tab of the radiator is still attached solidly to the radiator. We had the same problem with a car and could not figure out why the fan was hitting. It ended up being that the braze on the mounting tab of a brand new radiator had broken allowing the radiator to move closer to the fan.

    First make sure that you torch and scrape all the under coat off the back sides of the seam to be welded. If you don't the welds will pop and burn through as soon as you get some heat in them. Second you can make a cabrio brace very easily with some 18 gauge steel. One simple 90 degree bend and cut it to fit. Third the places I would seam would be the frame rail to wheel housing, Wheel housing to fire wall, and A pillar and windscreen area to wheel housing. Best of luck, Nate Vincent

    Hi, My name is Nate and I work at sports Cars Restoration with Matt McGinn. We have done two s14 swaps into 2002 and have two more soon to be in the works as well as m50/s50 stuff. The s14 is a relatively straight forward swap but there is a bit of chassis modification to use the 265 m3 5 speed as well as some custom fabricated parts to make the install as clean and factory as possible. If you are serious in a s14 2002 then I would definitely give Matt or one of us at the shop a call at (860) 621 2002 or just stop by and check out what we do. Nate Vincent

    We finished the e30 subframe and mounted it in the car about two weeks ago. With a standard offset 02 panasport 15 the flare was filled without spacers. Now we need some m3 trailing arms and the rear will be ready to go. Andy, As far as wheels I keep imagining a set of 16" bbs RS with Lee's Massive rally set up in front. What do you think?
