1974 BMW 2002 TII Project, Sunroof, 5 speed conversion and Donor '74 Clean Shell

I have been struggling and struggling with this decision but I final have made up my mind. I was in the process of a restoration of my 1974TII and have now decided I am going to purchase a 1972 or 1973TII that I could use as a driver. I just don't have it in me nor the time to go through another vehicle restoration.

Here is some info about the car;

Original color is Siennabraun metallic

The car spent most of its life in Hermosa Beach, nd has rust on front windshield and rear window frames all the way through.

Passenger side floorpan has been replaced and the rear floor pans will need to be replaced

Rear shock towers look good, n fact, he trunk and rear were about the best panels in the car.

The rear speaker parcel and been completely cut out and a piece of sheetmetal riveted in.

Rear quarter panels, ood, oof, nd rockers all have significant rust and will need to be replaced.

All that said, here are some nice surprises; like it has a5-speed conversion, sunroof that opens and closesand while the odometer states it has 56,000 miles according to the past owner it does have around 112k. I was able to track down the previous owner in Hermosa Beach, e purchased the car from the Original Owner in 1975 with 7,000 miles on it and has had it ever since. He has all the records and the original title (I was handed a duplicate.) super nice guy. He has not found everything yet but keeps in contact and keeps saying he promises he will find. Car had been sitting for 5 years, o the front brakes were a little tight and the gas tank was horrid. I yanked it out and threw it away and just bought a very clean one; included in price. The engine does turn over but honestly with all the rust that was in the tank, y plan was to replace the fuel pump, ilter and clean injectors before starting.

Car is located in Spring Valley CA at my body shop which is very reasonable and he is an excellent "metal sculptor" as I call him. If you wanted to have him do the metal repairs and paint I would recommend him.

The interior and exterior parts including glass are all out of the car; door panels were junk and trashed. I have begun acquiring newer parts and just traded the original brown recaro seats for original front and rear seats that would come with the car. I am not looking to make any money, ust want to see it get restored not junked. I could part it out and sell the suspension, ngine, -speed conversion and make my money back but that would be horrible.

Car will come with all original parts removed except for anything that disintegrated upon removal. I have purchased some new items for the restoration which I could make available at what I paid for the item to person who purchases. Most items are labeled and boxed and were disassembled with care.

The donor car is very clean and comes with a clean CA title on Non-op. The Alpina looking wheels were removed but the rest of the car has all of the necessary panels to repair the TII. It also is a roller so it has existing shock towers, teering gear and emergency brake.
