    Description:

    Sadly sold my '02 a while back and dont plan on buying a new one unless I move to CA... can't hack the weather over here without a garage.

     

    I have a few new parts for sale that I dont really want to sell but have sat a couple of years now. I am planning to sell the lot - I don't really have time to send individually I'm sorry. ONLY exception is the hazard switch!

    Offers for the lot. I'd be happy with 150 + shipping if that works.

     

    Probably useful for a full resto job maybe this will save you some cash?

     

     

    Cheers. If I get desperate I'll sell one by one but not right now.

     

     

    Thanks.

    Sadly sold my 2002 due to the climate / no garage etc. Seemed like it was rusting more than anything!

     

    I've got this left - it's in really good condition and has vacuum. Purchased off a member here but didn't install. I was told it worked though. Very clean.

     

    Also have the new bolts and washers etc included! LMK if you want it!

  3. Well, I decided since I may be moving for a few months to get rid of my car, ideally just save all my dollars and then buy one from CA..who knows. A little sad but it went to a good home.

     

    In that case, I've decided to let go of the nose panel I drove 4 hours to pickup!

     

    $500 - it has minimal rust and no dents or bends, or filler! I believe it's worth the money, and sorry I cannot ship. I am in Brooklyn, but could drive to meet you on Long Island if you're really interested. It's quite an awkward part to transport. 2002AD wanted 900 for a used one.

     

    PM me if you'd like pics. It was for sale on here a while back. I was certain I'd use it!

    Yeah. It's a pain and expensive. I'm sure there is an easier way than the way I did it.  I imported mine from Vancouver. I used the firm crossborder vehicle sales. Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to help. 

     

    Any idea what sort of cost it may be for the above car? It's still for sale. I may be moving to Vancouver, then back to the US soon.. was thinking about a side trip to Edmonton to snag this bargain. It's a good body on that one..

     

    Would love to hear any info. I noticed that he's selling without bumpers, wondering if it'd cause hassle coming over the border for safety reasons.

    Open to offers now.

     

    It's a little more bodywork than I first imagined. The regulars - rockers and front drivers floor need done, trunk floor in parts, and the inner rear wells. It's a 72 on the title but the VIN I am told by BMW is for a late '71. In case of confusion.

     

    I actually have nearly all the metal to replace / repair this stuff, but I'm a horrible welder without a garage. So it's summer driveway repairs for me and it really bugs me I cant fix it easier. Would love to strip down but worried the snow will set in and cause more trouble.

     

    This is all the work I've done so far:

     

    brake stuff:

    replaced hard brake lines to calipers from front wheel arches

    new flexible hoses all round

    new pads + discs on the front + bleed

    new wheel bearings

     

    suspension stuff:

    new center track steering rod

    new ball joints and tie rod ends

    new genuine control arms

    new front bushes (tension rod to subframe)

     

    engine stuff:

    new pertronix ignition (also have spare distributor and pertronix)

    replaced most wiring regarding ignition system - soldered and heat shrink on joints

    studs and copper nuts on exhaust manifold + new gasket

    new distributor housing gasket + o ring

    new radiator - coolant was extremely clean which is a nice sign

     

    I then spent 1200 getting the carb rebuilt, tuned, timed. Bloody expensive process, Little Garage in Huntington did a fair job though. Runs a million times better than when I bought the car.

     

    The bad:

    Rust on drivers floor pan - I have a replacement from W+N

    Rust on both rear wheel towers (I mean when you open the trunk) again, replacement panels from W+N in the box ready to go

    Driver's rocker will need replaced

    Passenger door skin needs replaced - have a W+N replacement

    New Driver's fender in the box from W+N.

     

    Clutch doesn't need replaced but the throwout bearing does. I was waiting for summer before I do this job.

     

    I paid 3500, sunk about 2500 into it and also have a 1971 nose panel (sorry I will absolutely not sell until the car is gone incase I keep going with the project) and I also have a spare 4 speed gearbox.

     

    It'd be a good project if you have a garage! It has a clean title, runs very well, and everything is original and nothing is missing. (Center console comes with car).

     

    If I don't sell it I'll just keep going. Maybe my welding will get better and I find a garage. Car in Long Island near Northport.

     

    $5000 with all spare parts and new parts I have. Most replacement parts are from FCP euro or are OEM. Body parts from W+N but not OEM.

     

    Considering offers!

  6. I have a question re: lines.

     

    My car has a single line the entire way from tank to carb - it's the plastic lined 8x13 BMW type.

     

    I'm guessing this is 13 outer 8 inner on the sizing?

     

    There is no return line. Would no return give me any issues on starvation?

     

    I'm thinking of replacing as I have not done since owning the car. Also a new pump.

    Thanks for all the rotor info and will get into that today. I've emptied the fuel tank and cleaned the filter. The fuel lines are new but I've blown out the fuel line with the compressor and the breather, so all good there.

     

    Snowy (sorry to hijack thread) did you have a single plastic inner/rubber outer hose from tank to inline filter in the engine bay on your car? Do you mind sharing the genuine part number if so?

     

    My car has a single line the entire way through which I will replace to try eliminate any air leaks.. BMW site says 32 dollars - this the correct line?

     

    Mine says BMW 8x13 on it.

  8. This is a theory but the garage says it's running well, which is right, but as soon as I hit an incline I have the issue.

     

    It wouldn't be something as simple as the angle of the fuel tank would it? For example mine is pretty solid on flats and great downhills, even at high rpm, but with a hill it nearly always dies unless I really nurse it.

     

    Itll pull strong up to 80mph in 3rd and 4th but the hills, doesn't matter what gear; it'll have trouble.

     

     

  9. Guys is there an easy way to remove the wiper pull switch from the dash?

     

    i have a '71.

     

    cant seem to remove my speedo cable, but when I pulled the instrument cluster out half way, pushed back in, my stalk switch works again!

     

    i guess is was a problem with the contacts. Now I'm worried all the gauges are probably only half way plugged in.

     

     

  10. My issue has basically gone but I will admit I paid a garage.. I was sick of it. Let's see how long it lasts!

     

    New plugs and coil. Tuned carb. Smooth now, very responsive, buuuut it does still feel like the odd misfire or something, cruising isn't ultra smooth.

     

    Maybe it's just old. Not sure.

    Yes, we should all get together. My car lives in storage at 138th Street in the Bronx. From there the Madison Ave bridge is about a block a way.

    Morning Side Ave is a nice quite street with room to double park. From there a cruse down the west side HWY to someplace downtown. Or Brooklyn.

    I would think that a huge percentage of the cars out there came from Max Hoffman's. Everyone should come to town to make a pilgrimage.

    Otherwise, a cruse up to the back roads of Westchester is always nice. Henry Hudson PKWY.

    I'm up for helping on someone's project. (nothing too crazy). Or always need help/advice for my car.

    Summer is here boys! Time to get the dust off these cars.

     

    Interested in hearing about your Bronx storage if you're still checking on here! My car lives in LI but I live in Brooklyn.. I don't have a roof for it though. I looked up storage units up there in the Bronx around 100/ month.. true fact?

     

    Would be interested in a drive maybe next year when the car is up to scratch!

  12. Following this one.

     

    My car did the same thing, after waiting 3 hours for insurance tow truck I got my own and took to Little Garage on LI.

     

    I seemed hot around the coil. I have pertronix, new rotor, wires, cap, and pretty good wiring.

     

    Interested to see if it's a fuel problem for you! Hope you can fix soon. If the garage gives me an update on my issue soon will post so you can check if its the same. etc.

    Yes after a number of years I have them back in stock.

     

    Harry this made all the difference. Forgot to mention. Bought it a while back, can finally open secondary carb properly and the action is much smoother. Well worth it.

  14. Are the spark plug wires in the correct order? My engine sounded like this after I adjusted my tappets/valves, and it was because I mixed up the plug wires. It also gave a cough of smoke out the carb. Hopefully it's something simple!

     

    1-3-4-2, clockwise i think just googled quickly.

  15. Mate this is epic. Kiwi in the states here and it's awesome to see such a cool project back in the homeland!

     

    Gives me some motivation. Been watching your youtube channel - very helpful stuff. I can't weld and have a very swiss cheese style 2002 on my hands. Awesome to follow this one!

  16. In the same boat as you man!

     

    Took to a BMW specialist and told me it's pretty dry, but whenever I do a bit of work I find a new spot of rust...

     

    Definitely watch out on the Walloth website for specials! I got a new floorpan and both of the rear wheel arch covers, a door skin, and front fender for 200 bucks. Shipping isn't bad.

     

    How are you rockers?

     

    Hopefully you can do the work in winter, too. Drive in summer.
