Let’s take a drive.
As I said in the beginning of this build series, after swapping this car we drove it 700+ miles to
1971 BMW 2002 Touring S52
This was a SUPER fun and well funny build. This was done in the spring of 2015 right before Mid America 02 fest in Arizona. It was some what of a trade and a build for a good friend in Minnesota. He shipped his touring to us, then drove his 97 E36 M3 and then we combined the two.
This was a very QUICK, CHEAP, and DIRTY build. Our job was to get the engine in and make it driveable. Nothing more, nothing less. Once done we drove the car 700+ miles one way to AR after getting it running and driving it MAYBE 6 miles. It made a 1400+ mile trip without an issue and provided a lot of smiles and laughs along the way.
