As promised, here are some pictures
of the finished, at last, ‘M2’ (after 4 years
from buying the ’72 2002tii shell). Just started driving
it….we still have a few minor kinks to work out, but
overall she’s a blast. Feel free to add this to your
website if you like.
Background Summary:
I purchased the ’72 2002tii shell in March 2004. The
shell was virtually rust-free and came with the turbo flairs,
rockers, and front spoiler from previous owner. I already
had the Schnitzer 2.5 S4 (S14) engine and associate e30 M3
drive train components, include Getrag 265CR, prior to purchase
of ’02. All fabrication, body & paint, and mechanical
work associated with this full chassis-off restoration were
done by Vintage Sports & Restoration in Bow, NH. It has
rack & pinion steering (from e21 323i). The suspension
is Ireland Engineering sport springs with stock 2002tii struts.
The exhaust consists of Group-A rally header, VSR dual cat,
and custom dual rear mufflers & pipes. The seats are
320 Recaros (front) and 635CSi (rears). Plus, many other
custom features.
Regards,
Roy
