    1975 m42 swapped 2002 90% finished resto-mod

    Just thought I would list my 02 on R3V incase someone is interested in 02s, I've been toying with the idea of passing my 02 to someone who will finish it as I have so many other things going on to worry about other than finishing the project.

    $14,000 Open to ***Reasonable offers.


    The highlights:

    1975 (no smog required)

    Clean title in my name with current registration.


    Original Socal car still carries CA blue plates, Original Polaris, car was painted about 9 months ago, proper engine out, glass out stripped down to bare bones paint job though it was not sanded down to bare metal.

    -Complete suspension rehab, every thing was bought from IE and no money was spared on parts.
    Bilsitens Sports with cut IE stage2 springs, + stage 2 sway bars.

    -All new weather stripping all around, door seals, front and back windshield, and rear popup windows.

    -e21 recaros in 9/10 condition due to a cut on the driver side seat bolster(see picture below) the seats were taken out of a storage where they sat since 1983, I replaced the bottom seat straps as well as the retaining clips with new ones from Aardvark.

    -M42 Engine swap with all what the swap entails(new fuel lines, walbro inline pump, ect ect), done professionally by Castro's motorsport, it was done using JakeB swap kit, the engine was pulled out of a babied 91 318is that had a little over 100K miles, All seals and gaskets were replaced, new water pump, thermostat, radiator, and SPAL 16" electric fan, new starter, and clutch slave cylinder. Mess inder intake was also cleaned out all Smog related crap deleted and all hoses were replaced with new ones.

    -All gauges work, we had to go with VDO electric gauges for the speedo and tach(both fit in stock location and work flawlessly)

    -Completely new braking system in the rear and new pads upfront.

    -IE stainless steel brake lines.

    The car runs great it's been on 140 miles round trip before without a hiccup, sits at 3000 rpm doing about 70-75mph and gets over 30mpg all day.

    -It still needs about a $1000 and a couple weekends to be finished(if you do the work yourself)
    Things needed to be finished: Finish Dynamating ($100-$150) carpet Kit($250),headliner($120-$150), and a back seat(I would personally go with the e24 back seat conversion as it would go very well with the recaros), e-brake lever,and wiper nuts

    Center console is in good condition. Door cards vinyl is in great condition but backings need to be replaced.


    -No Money was spared building this 02.

    I will gladly answer any questions you might have, my number is 818 703 2097, or you can send me a message through the Forum.

    Thank you for looking
    Mohamad

                Thank you sir and unfortunately yes I can't finish it, and It's not because I don't want to but I just simply can't due to the following:

                -I can't do the work needed to finish the car myself and I would have to contract it to a shop which will cost me more than a $1000.
                -My wife lost her job few months ago, so a little more than one third of our income is gone.
                -I'm losing my job in april, so things are not that steady right now and so far I can't even score one single interview, therefor I can't put a single dime into the car, since holding onto every bit of income is a priority.

                When this whole project started(a year ago) things were different and I thought I would see it through completion and enjoy it everyday, That has proven easier said than done.
