A few quick updates on our 2002 project (you can find out more about our ‘02 by clicking on 2002, 2002 project, etc. in the ‘tags’ on our homepage):

This is the engine out of the 1973 2002 that we picked up in February 2009 in St. Louis.  Once it’s rebuilt, this engine will most likely be the heart of our 2002.   As it “stands”, the compression is bad in cylinder #2, which is most likely from a stuck valve in the cylinder head.

Nice, clean aluminum engine parts.

Reggie scrapes some grease and grime from the lower timing cover.

Before and After:  The upper timing cover has been cleaned and polished in both photos.

And, as you can see, both the upper and lower timing cover look pretty nice after some buffing with a brass wire wheel.

Reggie holds these newly brushed timing covers in front of the engine…yes, this is going to be nice!

And here we have the oil pan and timing chain.  This timing chain will be replaced before it makes its home in the ‘02.

This old beast is out of the 1971 2002, which, according to the casting numbers, came from a ‘69.  It’s a running motor and potentially for sale.

Looking for a stellar 7-series to add to your collection?

We’ve got the perfect one for you!  Click here!

If you would like to view this beauty in person, please call us at 317.804.9313.

Have a great weekend!

After a week of dreary, misty, foggy weather here in the Midwest, the sun has finally come out!  It’s Stephanie here, and I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Friday!  The time has finally come where some progress will be made on our project 1969 2002, and we are very excited!  We’ll be working in the shop tomorrow to make some headway, so we want to post a few photos to share in the excitement and keep us motivated.

Remember when Reggie removed the seat mounts?  If not, click here for the details.  Tomorrow he’ll be fabricate brand new seat mounts.  This milk crate is just not very comfortable!

The passenger doesn’t fare much better, there’s no seat at all!

The is sport steering wheel pictured here will be for sale in the near future.

See the holes in that panel in the back seat?  Reggie will be removing that panel and replacing it with metal from the 1970 2002 that left the shop a couple of weeks ago.  Recycling at its best!  Go Green!

The tired old dash has been sent off to the upholstery shop to be re-wrapped.  It’s missing from this photo because it was sent off this morning.

This is the backseat area.  You can see part of the hole mentioned above.

Mirror, Mirror, what do you foresee?  How about….

…the perfect steering wheel for the ‘02!  We recently acquired this vintage wooden beauty made by Nardi, complete with 2002 hub adapter.  A big thank to local ‘02 enthusiast, Ben Younce, for providing us with this! This fine piece most likely steered another ‘02 before making its way to us.  Although we’d love to get this installed, we’re going to hold off so that it doesn’t get damaged during fabrication of the seat mounts and other interior work.   Maybe we could just put it on for the sake of a photo…hmm…I’m sure Reggie wouldn’t mind, that way he could get used to how it will look!  I’ll have to get on this!

Here’s a recap of work to be done…..or at least started tomorrow:

1. Fabricate seat mounts for the driver and passenger seat.
2. Remove and replace metal panel in the back seat where the speaker holes are.
3. Possibly install that sweet Nardi wheel for just a few minutes.

We’re working on getting more photos of the 1987 325is that is currently for sale.  Until then, have a great weekend!
