jdamm 4 Report post Posted February 13, 2015 hi guys/gals my names julian, just doing the intro thing, im not that new to bmw's but want to get to know /meet more bmw fanatics and try and find the right places to get parts/work done locally etc, the people you recommend and trust! and at a fair price(probably asking to much lol) i have a early 1973 2002 tii that is in need of a bit of tidying up, i could give you a list longer than my hallway as im sure most fanatics would but simply i want this car on the road for next summer........because it needs to be driven! so new clutch, a bunch of gaskets and rubber mounts, some minor rust and paint , potential engine-gear box strip down/check because they are out of the car and that should do for a while...... not! give us a yell if you can point me in the right direction or have any info etc, cheers 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted February 18, 2015 Welcome from another tii owner. Yours looks nice! I hope getting it running well goes smoothly. If you find your engine needs attention, don't rush into rebuilding it. As I have upgraded, I have the one from my car (complete with injection, running well, low mileage top end and rebuilt bottom end) that would be cheaper to buy than any rebuild. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
