Presented is a 1971 BMW 2002, VIN 2577610 built for North American market.Car is finished in its original Malaga color. The repaint however does not match the original 

perectly (close though).  The body has some small areas of rust.  These include the door corners and surface rust in various areas. There is no rust through on the body. The under

body is very good with no floor or front subframe deterioration.The engine has been replaced with a later 2002 engine #2371997 indicates from a 1976 2002.

 and transmission has been upgraded to a 5-speed manual. The original front seats have been replaced with later style Recaro sport seats.Seats and door cards do not have any 

tears and are  presentable for a daily driver.

Under the current ownership, the following work was recently completed in preparation of the sale.

•  Front and rear brake service including new front discs and rear drums and cylinders. The front calipers were rebuilt and the lines replaced. Along with this service the brake

    fluid was changed using DOT 4 Ate fluid.

•  Front wheel bearings 

•  Oil change service with filter

•  Cleaning and adjusting carburetor 

•  New OEM fuel lines from tank to carburetor 

•  Replacing of the distributor cap, rotor and spark plug wires 

•  Rocker panel repair and repainting. The outer rockers had a small amount of rot in front of the rear wheels.  This was repaired using welded steel pieces.

    The inner rockers only had surface rust and were treated with rust inhibitor and zink paint.

•  The driver side door check was replaced 

•  The exterior paint was wet sanded and buffed

•  Spare tire well had a few small rust holes (size of dime or smaller) that were repaired and the area repainted 

•  The door cards were replaced using good used cards

Friends,

4290151 has a new home. I acquired the car directly from the past owner and it is now on a truck headed to my shop here in NH. VSR1.com.  This one will be keeper.

Whereas the salt bath was up to the instrument cluster I'll be completely disassembling it once we do an initial clean up, fluid drain and flush and a salt neutralizing wash. From there this will need to be dipped, stripped, flushed so that I can start with a bare metal chassis.

So much to do in such a short period of time to save this one.

Wait until you do the sun visor!

 

I rinsed the GOOP with water. Your headliner is perforated. I'm not sure how that would work  but maybe a test corner ?

Oh yea  forgot about those pesky holes, maybe not.

We used the black fuel line that Blunt has with no problems a couple months ago.

Also used a lighter on the old line to see what would happen with it out of the car.

Melted and sealed itself. 

I forgot about this thread. Used a Magic Eraser on the headliner with pretty good luck.

Might go over it again with a little bit of GOOP. 

Ate Type 200 

Finishing up the last details on the 71' Malaga.

Tucked away for the Night

The best thing about Greyhound pkg is you get to go to a Bus Station.

I wonder if Walmart owns them ? 

Ive used Greyhound package express for bumpers and a gas tank.  

You have to drop it off and pick it up but is cheap.

Service area is somewhat limited  and not the fastest.

 I tried Pirate Ship recently  do to faq and got great prices.

Rogerstii has the rocker molding clips. I have them on the way for the Malaga 2002.

I'm in. 

I have one, as they were recommended here.  Worth it for sure.

Only problem I have is it's smarter than me.  

Worked.   Looked like a total blast. Great video, what camera and where was it mounted.

I was asked if I would do a video on a color tour coming up and need to decide where to mount a gopro.

Again very cool, I think this is 11 hours from me of course. 

had to request access

If you use clamps like @John76 recommends, it is very easy to jack the spring up into the retainer with a floor jack.

This is the way to go though its a bit sketchy. Works easy with  two people.

We had to do this like three different times after we got everything correct.

Takes like two minutes to get it attached.

Not quite as fun as using a spring compressor. 🙂

Have the Webers been tuned on the car ?

I used these just last month on two 2002's they worked perfectly .

They were recommended  by a member here .  $8.10 for fifty.

eBay auction over ten bids to $4550.    Just wow.  I don't think I could go over a grand and I have a body man in the family.

Pics and a price would be super cool…

I would rather use the stock mounting holes.

I like the idea of using an oval tube like @AceAndrew suggested.

Interior work done for the most part on the 1971  02.

Plenty of wet sanding and polishing among other things. Getting there.
