    So i bought a '70 2002...

    And for my 2500th post...
    This is her:









    This was 6 seconds of the 6 hours getting her:









    this is taking her apart:




    these house speakers made me LOL


    once a mouse hotel


    wiring so well even the mice left it alone...


    Bottom photo is driver side foot well

    Okay so as of right now she has been all but gutted. the only parts left in the interior are the pedal box, heater box, wiring, headliner, and rear door cards (got lazy on the last one.)

    As you can see, the inside of the driver side rocker has a significant amount of rust. To blame would be the antenna gasket, or lack there of.

    this is how she sits now.



    i still need to wire wheel the inside of the rocker to see what i can do with that.. the outside is rather sturdy.


    this is another notable spot:



    i believe i will wire wheel it down as much as possible to see what i can do here as well!

    hopefully the weather holds out tomorrow and i get a bit more cut away / done.

    Plans for her include:
    repairing abundant amounts of rust as i go.
    Deleting all the trim except for the gutters.
    deleting side markers
    euro front turn signals
    Filling the antenna hole.
    Swapping out the doors with cleaner examples.
    staying 4x100
    period correct 14-15" wheels:

    specifically try to fit 15x8 brought out to maybe et10-15 depending on flares...
    then 225/15/50 is what id like to fit.

    Coil over Conversion
    e21 BBk in the front.
    Disc conversion in the rear
    mk1 rabbit flares (as my fenders are rusted through at the current "flare")
    replace body rubbers
    M42 drive train swap

    and a bunch of other stuff i will figure out

                  Hey I know that 02!!! Good luck with the rebuild, its seriously an amazingly solid chassis. I couldn't believe how solid the rear strut towers were!

                  I'm super jelly.

                      rear deff seems solid. just have to grind away some rust in the wheel wells.. the only rust has to be from the antenna.

                      Anyways, helping a bud with his car today. he needs the help and ill have a day dedicated to it tomorrow. charged up my D80's batteries for some better photos in the future.

                        Congrats on the 02. Some of your plans make me cry (trim delete and M42 swap) but others make me smile! (period 14/15 wheels, wuro sig's, brakes, etc). Looking forward to see this evolve!

                        and another Sahara!

                          If anything i think you could have fun doing the m10 injection system conversion. An m42 sounds fantastic though too. I think there's an article on jalopnik about a well done m42 02.

                              M10 can be a killer.
