Hey All,
I thought I would start a project thread to keep track of the work I've done on the car. This is the first build I've done and am learning a ton. I would also like the communities input so I know when I'm doing things wrong.
After searching far and wide for a Volvo 142 I settled with the BMW 2002. Similar styles and much more in my price range. I found what I thought was a good clean car on Craigslist about two hours from me and pulled the trigger. Hey it came with a parts car so it couldn't be too bad right?
Short Term plans for the car:
Remove rust (I found a lot)
Fresh paint
Suspension refresh
Complete engine rebuild
Long Term Plans:
Custom Suspension
Maybe Engine Swap (Purist Cringing Everywhere)
Stay Tuned for Updates
