Sidetracked!

I bought another 2002! Saw this car a few months ago when i bought some wheels off the owner and last week spotted it on Trade Me and took the plunge. A few photos -





Came with a heap of spares

Extra steering box and 4 servos

Megasquirt Relay box

Megasquirt ECU

The main challenge - Electrics

Controlled by toothed wheel on crank

Inside the megasquirt V3.0 board with Megasquirt 2 (I think!)

I believe origional carpets - faded but not worn

E30 seats - fit nicely and match the blue interior

The bad - floor rust - I've had plenty of practise fixing this!

New frost plug i think

Matching body and engine numbers


Fuel injection from a E30 318i




A quick check with BMW in Germany revealed 'The BMW 2002 rhd VIN 4200697 was manufactured on November 7th, 1973 and delivered on November 14th, 1973 to England. The original colour was Fjord metallic, paint code 037.'

The registration for this one is live so all it needs is a new WOF (Warrant of Fitness) and i can get it back on the road.
Want to get this finished by the middle of next year to use as my daily driver so every expense will be saved on cosmetics, just want to make it legal and reliable.

Meanwhile the roundie is mothballed until squarie gets back on the road. Don't have the space or energy or money to have 2 projects going at one time!
