- Finally got my hands on a BMW 2002!
Super excited to get this project going. It is going to take lots of work to get this car up and running but really excited to start! We'll be putting a Flathead into this so follow along the journey on restoring it!
I think I know this car. I almost bought it for parts for my ‘74. I’m glad to see someone is going to get it running
Oh really!!?? From MA ?
I am very impressed with Travis’s trailer backing up skills 🙌🏼
He did a good job 😂😂
My dad bought a '75 518 from the factory in Rosslyn, Pretoria, South-Africa. A demonstration model. Amazon green. I grew up in that car. It had the same steering wheel and doormirrors that your 2002 has..😊 Good luck on your build..
My Uncle had an Orange 2002 with the black leather interior. Pretty sweet ride
They are great little cars!
U.K. congratulates you on whet will be an epic build and great content. 🇬🇧
Congrats on your buy. FUN FACT: Round the end of the '60s South-Africa received a BMW factory. Their first build was the 2002SA. A different car from yours. The SA was a Borgward and a Glass before it became the 2002SA!! Greetings from South-Africa!❤🎉
Thank you so much!! Such a cool fact to know! ☺️
Congrats!nHope you and your car are coming along well. I have been playin with these since 1986. Fun cars and easy to keep running right. Good luck!
Thank you!
It's an interesting project & I'll repeat my suggestion that you use an 8BA engine since the car was an auto to begin with [no provision for clutch controls] The Later 8BA will be easier to hook a readily available auto to.
Not really a fan of modern euro cars [modern = from 1980 to today] 1932 to 1934 is my thing but I will follow closely to see how it develops. Good luck to you from Oz.
Congratulations I bought my e10 beginning of the year and hasn’t done any work on it yet. Glad to see your Chanel
I'd probably opt for any modern aluminum-block engine with a convenient aftermarket ECU harness that has a decent selection of transmission options. I'm not entirely sure that a V8 is the ideal solution for this car, since it was designed around a relatively narrow engine and the space between the suspension struts should be relatively limited. I'd personally be inclined toward an inline-4 for space constraints. Throw a fairly small twin-scroll turbocharger on it and you can pretty easily push over 300HP, which is more than enough for such a small and lightweight car. Plus, if you choose a particularly compact 4-cylinder then you can jam it really close to the firewall and achieve a front-mid engine weight distribution while potentially making the car lighter than it was originally, which is always a good thing. Something from Honda should do nicely and there's loads of aftermarket support for Honda's more performant 4-cylinders.
Well done, icon car, leave it White i had an E30 arctic white looked amazing with a little polish. Also that petrol filter doesnt look right ( should be under the car ) might leak and cause an engine fire !!!! Good Luck Cheers
after some thought I was thinking of leaving it white! Thank you for noticing!
Wow, a very good choice/find!👴🤗
This is the very first sporty "modern" car of the late 60's and the 70's. You can easily safely say is was the model hat saved BMW.
In fact, the type with turbo on this engine (E20) was the first turbo out there. That very (always already used) underblock, was collected, rebuilt and refined with turbo, which won WorldChampionships in F1!
They are very desired nowadays, the prices are skyrocketing...
So that is quite a heritage you bought!
@01:56 I am almost sure, but that carburetor does not seem to be stock... (It can be fine though).
Sorry and Thanks. 😊
Not to be pedantic, but there was no "factory air" on 2002's. There were 3 different aftermarket systems that were all dealer installed. Do your homework and figure out which one you have. It might not be that hard to replace a few components and get it working.
Automatics ARE rare, but were not great in these cars. If your thinking about converting it to a 5 speed manual, the components you’ll need are all out there.
Pro tip (if you don't already know it). Get on the BMW 2002 FAQ blog. Literally, everything you’ll need to restore this pup you will find there.
Yup, I’m on the blog website (:
US rust is so different to UK rust! In the UK, that rust on the bonnet (hood) and roof would have been utterly rotten!
But still looking forward to the next vids, good purchase Kelly 😎
Thank you for watching!!
Are you jealous Kelly?😊
How was towing with the CRV? Glad I stumbled on your channel!
Honestly not bad at all!
automatics are rare and sluggish. Factory air might work up there, but in Texas it was useless.
Katalpa trees strip paint.
Poorly mixed repaints crack.
👍🏼👍🏼
Why us Negative a solution?
Got a 02/1974 e10
Sick!
Great cars. Almost as good as old Volvos. 🤣
😂😂
Taillights are the wrong shape.
Unfortunately
I had a 1600 and two 2002. One that I ended up racing in the SCCA. I also was part of team venture with a later model square tail light car that we used for endurance races, They're just awesome little cars. There was nothing like them in their day.@@KellyBuilds
That’s super cool! I really do love them
Don't paint it !!!!!!😖😖
I might leave it like this for a little!!
You lost me at “..have it lowered..” 🖕🏻
😂
