  • Classic BMW

    Hey everyone so i decied to finally do a build thread given that im sorta along the build and its raining so can work on it right now. Here it goes.....

    I picked up a 1974 BMW 2002 from up my street (litterly) at a old volvo shop, turns out the guy only loved volvos and sabbs. His lost my WIN, it sat parked since 1996 so it was time to save her. I bought it for $600 and had a buddy help push it home with me good thing it was down hill to my house, no brakes and dry rotteed tires haha. I drove of coarse



    As I got her home my brother that isnt into cars at all and my parents told me to throw it in the junkyard. THIS IS A 74 BMW HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!





    Just had to get a shot with my E28 just 10 years off from eachother 74 2002 and 84 E28



    Time to start



    Just doing a mock up with some extra wheels



    I ended up picking up some xxr 501's 16x8 from a buddy ( thanks Taylor D) so i went the cheap fast way to get her low... so I went to town





    Heres the final stance after a couple hours of rolling and pulling fenders and chopping springs



    Face Off!!!



    I ended up picking up a front air dam and rear lower valence and lots of extra parts from another buddy since he sold his 2002 all this for only $150 the friend discount



    Those air bags are sneek peek of whats to come for this car! quick mock up on the air dam





    Cat vs 2002 thats not even my cat but i think itll keep him





    ill keep up the build going and i hope you guys like it so far

            Looks amazing! Looks like no rust to be seen on the outside shell. How is the underside and rear towers? Please don't repaint it, I think the classic faded paint gives them so much life =)

            Stoked to see what becomes!
