The Car

1971 BMW 2002 # 2574244

The Place

Tampa, Florida

The Summary This car was cheap, but had been mistreated. Fortunately, it was structurally sound in all the right places except for part of one frame rail and the normal door edge rust. Much of the work was done myself, but there was key involvement by a shop for paint, and there is much more to go.

Having previously owned a 320i and having recently completed a 1970 VW Bug restoration, I mistakenly thought that 2002 parts (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) would be readily available new (Ha !) or from swap meets in the area (Ha Ha !!) and would be reasonable in price (Ha Ha Ha !!!) and ........ you get the idea.

Even so, I enjoyed the project and have enjoyed meeting some true fans (not to mention fanatics) along the way. Keep on 02ing..
