Trading in Procrastination for Unexpected Momentum in a Vintage Project Car

Video Description

Getting a vintage project car running and driving is usually stressful. This time, with my new (to me) BMW 2002, it wasn’t. In this video, I repair my 1975 BMW 2002 build to get the M10 engine running and take the first steps, driving it for the first time. After sitting for months, I fire it up, and check over its current condition, past repairs and modifications to see what kind of starting point this classic BMW project really is. This video marks the real beginning of my BMW 2002 build.
