Noobie's 2002, 1975 restoration project

[TENIUS]

Hi there folks,
This Danish dude enjoys following these threads from over here in Denmark.
Bought this BMW 2002, 1975 model back i '92 as the third owner.
Drove it for 6 years with intense pleasure.
Got hold of a modified engine with 150 BHP (double Weber 45, increased intake, 300 camshaft, banana exhust manifold) which just increased the fun:devil:.
Have not driven it since '98.
Engine has been cranked (not started) some 4 times a year since then.
Now determined to get the old girl back on the road.
Tried to start the engine yesterday.
2 mins and the devil fired up - how amazing is that!! (link to sound recording via dropbox here 'BMW starter': www.dropbox.com/s/wht3266i2kcalzf/BMW%20starter%21.m4a?dl=0

Bound to run into need for help, so counting on you guys!:D

+1 on all of the above. 2002faq is the place to find info.

75 was the best year!!!! :)

The old m10 is a strong little motor! It's stood the test of time right there!

Good to hear your putting it back!

Update: getting started

So, finally got going - carport transformed into interim 'shop' - plan to dissemble over the next couple of weeks to get ready for blasting and welding - pics as we go along available via this link to a DropBox folder (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uy8t2bd7m...mLB72tuaa?dl=0) Wish me luck!:)

Project status day 3

So including 'setting up shop' in the carport, this is where we're at after 3 days: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uy8t2bd7m...mLB72tuaa?dl=0, which I'm happy with considering this is my first...
Anyone feels like commenting on anything, then it should be possible to add comments to any given picture via the link. Will need to change floors and maybe the front but still hoping beams and heavier stuff will prove to be ok (heavily treated before storage). Hoping to take out engine etc. as the next step one of these days. Plan on dry-ice blasting once ready (any experience I might benefit from hearing about anybody?). Till' next post!
