My tii water pump was rebuilt by Tony (Flying Dutchman; http://fdrbp.com/). This was back in 2016 but, at the time, cost about $160 and came with a three-year warranty. I'd use him again.

Did they build you a new harness? They do not have a 2002 on their online catalog, but given the site design it isn’t surprising.

If you are visiting Disney, Disney Springs has a fleet of Amphicars you can ride. Sebring is to the south, Daytona to the northeast. If you are willing to make a trip of things, the Revs Institute is in Sarasota. But I second Visionaut - head out to Kennedy Space Center, spend a day at Canaveral National Seashore, and see some real Florida. 

Without knowing what the actual beam pattern of these headlamps are, it is impossible to know if they are an improvement over stock, or if they are even worse than stock. The perception of color and light levels in photographs are subjective and subject to the settings of the camera; the actual illumination on the ground is not. Photographs are great for illustrating what the documented beam pattern of a given headlamp is, but they are no substitute for that documentation. For example, the headlamps shown in the initial photographs appear to be sending a lot of light to the left, at a very high cutoff. This would cause discomfort or disabling glare to oncoming drivers, is a safety issue for other drivers, and could lead to the driver of the vehicle with modified headlamps getting a ticket.

Just as a general note regarding all headlamps - please do not purchase any headlamps that do not conform to the headlamp beam pattern for your car's market. Headlamps are market-specific.

As a former Edmonds, Washington, resident, I will add that the Washington State ferry personnel were usually nice enough not to cram cars to within cringing distance. But I never lucked out with getting my 2002 to the front or rear for some beauty shots.

Interested in that washer tank. PM sent.

A fairly large fire extinguisher, two extra fuses of each type, and some basic tools. I don't believe in trying to guess what will fail- I would never guess right. Plus, this approach is an incentive to keep maintenance up to date.

The USDOT reflectors will add very little to an oncoming driver in a side-impact collision. The bumpers are for low-speed impact resistance and not for full-crash impact absorption. The best thing you can do is drive defensively, ensure you have a center high mounted stoplight, and be very careful when going through intersections (even on a green). These cars were not designed to provide protection in most common crash scenarios (frontal offset, side, etc.), so if it is an occasional driver you will have to balance exposure and risk.

Is that battery tray bolt-in?

You could use a bus bar. I used a marine bus bar I picked up at West Marine.

Thanks for a beautiful replacement!

My current one is easy to remember- 2764232. My last one's first three digits were the same as the local exchange where I was living. That resulted in a lot of confusion when people would look at the VIN on the steering wheel column. Sad to say I have forgotten the VIN by now!

"...the original color is Taiga which will be the color in a few years." Fixed that for you. :-)

Welcome to the club! I have a '73 tii which is waiting to go back to her original taiga green as well.

Mine is red right now but the original color is Taiga which might be the color in a few years.
Thanks for the response Jerry.

I had these listed previously, but due to a move I need to get rid of everything. Make an offer, keeping in mind that it will need to cover shipping. Pictures of the items are in my Photobucket album.

yeah, I once changed the oil in my '69 Econoline and it took ten quarts because I forgot the plug.

No fun seeing that puddle run out from under there, then bumming a ride to buy more oil. It was a long time ago, but I remember it well.

I did something amazingly similar as a broke high school kid. Poured an entire oil change worth of Mobil1 straight through the engine and into the catch basin under the car.

They are very prone to rust, so you should definitely be thorough in your per-purchase inspection.

This times 1000. An intense PPI will save you quite a bit of heartache later on, probably even more than with a 2002. I remember going to look at what was advertised as a pristine "barn-find" Bavaria, only to accidentally push my finger through the C-pillar. Honest seller or not, these models love to rust.

Not sure he would have had much luck in searching for Hobby Dave... Good that someone could just give him the answer.

I just ordered and was getting ready to post this. My only issue with the shirt is the ASCII code has a 7 in it! While it does have tii in it, it really needed some 2's and 0's!

Yes, since most of the people who are buying BMWs nowadays are buying them for image alone. As has been pointed out, so are typical Audi drivers. If BMW Financial Services were to kill the attractive lease deals, the jerks would move along to the next brand.

A beautiful tii touring was posted on Jalopnik today:

Just passing this along to the crowd...

I like black engine compartments! That being said, this one is scary. It looks like zero prep was done before it was sprayed black. And the trunk is worse- that Krylon touch might be hiding some serious rust.

Despite the wrong grilles, rims, and outside rear view mirror, I was gettin' onboard until I saw the black engine compartment, gray trunk, and badly recovered dash. I agree with eurotrash, even at $17K there is a lot of risk under that pretty exterior paint job!

A long time ago, when synthetics first came out, they could cause leakage. Newer synthetics have been formulated to not cause those problems with seals. You will be fine running about any high-quality synthetic. Or semi-syn. Or dino. I ran Mobil1 in my first 2002 when she was in her mid-20s with no issues. I run Brad Penn in my 40 year old 2002 now, again with no issues.

Check out the forums on Bob is the Oil Guy (bobistheoilguy.com/forums/) and you will learn more than you ever cared to about oil. Also, their sales forum is worth keeping an eye on if you have a vehicle that you don't have dedicated to one oil brand.

I just moved my car to a policy with American Collectors. One of the biggest reasons I went with them is that they would write an agreed value policy with no mileage limits and allow daily use type activities. I am not sure they would write a policy if it is your only car though. But, at least one agreed value insurer will write a policy on a DD-type car.
