    ADV2002, sorry to hear about your engine. If you haven't addressed the problem yet, I restore 2002's and am in Aliso Viejo, 20 miles from CM. There are two ways to go, buy a rebuilt engine and swap, or rebuild your engine. Does your engine number match your car VIN? If so then you'd likely want to keep your matching numbers 02 and rebuild your engine. If not, you might shop the price of a rebuild vs. having yours rebuilt. I rebuild old vw aircooled engines, however when it comes to an 02 I found one of the best in the business, he is certified BMW mechanic however old enough to have rebuilt numerous M10's (2002 engine) - he started in the 1980's. PM me and I'll give you his number. His fee is around $2800 for a complete rebuild and knows every detail of that engine. He's done several of mine, very honest good guy.

    Good reply Dirk on history and pics - have never seen the 67-68 steering wheel and now I want one for a 2000 I have in a shed (been waiting for its day of sunshine). Leaving out the 74-76 fake wood dash cluster was a good idea, just reminds me of a terrible time when cars started to get really ugly. Last, its not impossible to restore cluster and bezel fine chrome lines, silver, etc. Its all in the prep and paint, or can take it to a good metal finish shop that will dip plastic - many do.

    Need a kidney grille complete with slats, some slats, or just the frame is ok - for a 68-73 2002. Good condition preferred. I have good slats if you have a good frame. My grill looked great until I adjusted my hood the other night. Ok, it was the Scotch.

    Does anyone have an extra on/off button? Green, orange, purple ... the fog light button. I have the audio adjustment button there and do not need it. Will be using it to turn electric fuel pump on and off. Thanks.

    Good that you at least got the correct nose welded on. I had a 73tii where someone had replaced nose with a later model 2002, with the less desirable black plastic grill. In order to make the correct grill set (and much better looking in my opinion) I had to cut the nose out and find a clean nose off of a pre-73 and weld it on. Turned out great after paint. If you ever need help with this, let me know.

    Did you ever sell mount and compressor? I could use it on a 73 I'm restoring. Thanks.

    I stick to my choice of a Tii. We used to make rally style cars out of the ones that werent worth saving (80's). You can own a nice Tii and drive the hell out of it, at least I do anyway. Have some nice hills and a canyon on the way home from my office. I own a Tii and a base 2002 (orig.solex 1bbl), and have owned several weber 2bbl versions. By far, without any doubt, the Tii is much, much faster than the others. I had to buy one to believe it. I beat Porsches off the line (old ones, and usually people on cell phones not expecting it : ). It took two books and 3 weeks to rebuild and tune the fuel injection, but ever since it's been my after work "fun" without any problems so far. Anyway it's up to the person, there is no catagory for an 02 owner that I've found. If a dude wants a carpet queen to stare at, that's his thing. It is very nice to look at that's for sure.

    I have owned both, and loved my Tii. But now after rebuilding a 72 base 2002, I have changed my mind. It's much faster than a stock Tii, and fun as hell to drive.

    I'm sure you figured it out but you use SAE 80-90 or 85-90, or now it's GL5 80-90 I think. Fill it until almost the top, maybe leave 1/2" air at top (my restoration manual says until you can feel it at end of your finger).
