1976 BMW 2002, Stunning full mechanical and cosmetic restoration

Selling my Jade Green 76 2002, because honestly it's really too nice for me. This 76 was restored by a meticulous individual in 2001 to near concours standards. The number of new and NOS parts used in the resto is just something you rarely see, as most items can no longer be purchased new. From large items like the new BMW crate engine, to small items like sunvisors or seatbelts, everything was purchased new from Maximillion. All body trim, lights, mechanical components, if it couldn't be found new it was refurbished during the build.

The car was stripped to an absolute bare shell during the process. The engine was a new crate motor from BMW, with 9.5 pistons, a 121 head, and Tii exhaust manifold.Everything down to the wiring harness was replaced. Transmission was freshened with new synchros and shifts like perfection. No stone was left unturned during the build and the car drives as well as it looks, like a new 02 should. There is apporximately 8K miles on the car since the restoration.

Notable specs:

-- 380 Petri steering wheel and hub

-- H&R springs w Bilstein sports

-- BMW crate motor with 121 head, 9.5 pistons, 38mm Weber, Tii exhaust manifold, w Crane ignition

-- Factory 4 speed, rebuilt at time of resto

-- OZ Alpina wheels with new Falken 615's. Also newly refurbished bottlecap wheels with new tires

-- Authentic Coco mats

-- Custom kick panel speaker boxes made of fiberglass done during the build, with Infiniti reference speakers.

-- Factory tool kit, and jack

Once completed the car won several awards at east coast 02 events, including best square taillight at the big East 02 fest.

I've recently converted it to euro bumpers, and while they are mounted properly, I couldn't find a paint shop I felt comfortable withto patch and paint the remaining holes. Two shops wanted to paint the entire rear quarters after metal work, and another didn't seem interested. Not wanting to mess up the stunning paint that's there or risk a funny color blend,I simplyfilled the small holes with JBweld and painted them while the two holes on the sides have colored plugs. The small holes turned out so well I may go back and fix the plugged holes in the same manner..

Also worth mentioning, the E21 sourced recaros's have a slight bend in the backs that is really only noticeable in pics from the rear, but are perfectly comfortable for even longs trips, so I've never looked into fixing.
