Complete resto/mod mechanically including M-20 with new paint & interior

1971 BMW 2002 with M20 6 cylinder engine and Getrag 260 5-speed transmission & ecu.   The motor had a little over 100. 00 miles at the time of the swap with 3. 06. 6 miles driven since the build.   All driveline. suspension. brakes. etc were either replaced or upgraded.   Specifics include:

1.   Fresh head and timing belt.

2.   New IE clutch kit and Ireland Engineering (IR) E30 short shift kit and IE windage tray.

3.   Guibo and custom driveshaft.

4.   Front and Rear Main seals.

5.  E28 Engine Mount and custom transmission mount.

6.   All gaskets and typical comprehensive tune-up items.

7.   Stitch welded engine bay and added body to frame reinforcement to compensate for the increased torque.   

8.   3. 91 LSD rear differential from a 320 mated to all new CV joints and half-shafts using IE's adaptor kit.  

9.   Custom fabricated new front and rear strut bars (the rear with a battery tray)

10. Custom headers leading into a complete custom 2. 5” stainless steel exhaust.

11.  H&R springs.

12. 15”x6” Panasport Minilites.

18. All bushings to polyurethane from IE

19. IE front and rear sway bars.

20. All new steering arms and bushings.

21. Since the Getrag 260 doesn't have a mechanical speedo output. nbsp; a set of Haneline hot rod gauges are used getting RPM information from the ecu and

      speed/Odo information via GPS.   The gauges include fuel. water temp. oil pressure. and amp gauges that fit the look of the car well.

22. An IE fiberglass replica using hood pins for attachment replaces the stock hood.

23.  All of the door and side window gaskets have been replaced with new OEM gaskets that fit and perform well.  

24.   The chrome trim and window squeegees on both the inside and outside of both doors have been replaced.

25. New black carpet kit from Only02 along with a black stock rear bench seat.

26. New vintage Recaro recliners with Schroth 4-point harnesses.

27. New door cards are from Aardvarc and covered them with black material very similar to the Recaro fabric.

28.  I covered the stereo console and rear deck cover in the same fabric.  I opted to paint the roof of the car black instead of installing a new headliner.

29. New Suede Sparco 350 mm steering wheel.  

30. The dash was replaced with a used OEM dash with only one 1/4" crack where raised guage area drops down to passanger level.

31.   Also Included are the BMW owner's handbook. the 2002 Workshop Manual and a Budge car cover.

Several items can either go with the car or I'll sell separately including a new front air dam from IE. four Hankook slicks and four Fitipaldi alloy wheels.  

The exterior restoration was done by a paint and body man experienced with collector car restorations and has less than 400 miles since completion.   The car runs. sounds and looks awesome getting thumbs up every time I drive it.  It's guaranteed to put a smile on your face.   I've had it stored under a car cover in an air conditioned/humidity controlled garage since I had it shipped in from California where it was built by Groma Race Fabrications.   It needs nothing mechanically and has absolutely no rust anywhere.   This is my fifth 2002 putting together all the features I've ever dreamed of with the first four.   I only wish I could enjoy it but health reasons necessitate the sale.
