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!
