The Ultimate Homebuilt BMW 2002 Restoration

When one of the best BMWs ever made turns out to be a basket case, you do whatever you have to do to get it back on the road. (Even if that means shaping metal on a stump.)

Good on Casey for giving a 2002 a new life, and nice video, too.

Radio? Who needs a radio? ...ready Harry?

[@korah33]

Everyone needs to stop doing 2002 Videos so I can buy more of them! before the prices shoot up

[@chrisg4799]

Samuel Kuruvilla haha yes, the prices are too much. I have an tii too and i buy every part i can find before it is to expensive.

[@MisterOldSkoolRyder]

I thought so too until somebody gave me a roller very very cheap a few days ago. Been trying to get one for 15 years and got lucky. It's going to be a long journey. Now I see parts falling out the sky cheap.

[@korah33]

[@gregormiller4037]

Great post, inspiring Mr Casey, good job! A job Mike Rowe would enjoy:)

[@mrlafayette1964]

Very nice,must be quite satisfyting...have to say though that the gleaming chrome of a a Euro bumper in front would really set it off. I've always wanted one of these,long may she run.

[@MsMycene]

The 2002 is a iconic design

[@Jack96993]

I'm in the process of restoring a 1973 2002tii It's being taken down to the carcass!! I bought my first BMW 2002 back in 1973 and it was the ti

[@basithph8958]

My favorite classic ever like a reasonable project car Gotta get one before prices skyrocket

[@seanmullins3598]

To the critics of this work. This was all "In House", and a labor of love. Most notably, this effort was deemed worthy of the channel. That is why you are not on here.

[@user-mi8nw7ei6b]

היה לי אוטו כזה בדיוק שנת יצור 1976 אוטו מעולה !❤️❤️❤️

[@claytheenemy]

Nice car, better camo shorts.

[@bmw128racer]

My brother had a 1975 Fjord Blue 2002. I loved that car. I would've taken it off his hands, but I didn't have the money to buy it off him. 😕

[@DriversSide]

Really good watch! I’d love to review a 2002 on my channel

[@Jirrick]

Am I on the right channel? This video was about cars and was actually amazing...

[@waterlover]

We need gals like her in this world

[@thisquietplace]

Fun project, but that gear lever looked a bit sloppy

[@sweengollysweengolly3171]

Maybe ready to sell it to me now?

[@Almighty_cornholio]

I poop too much

[@todd2837]

They are all a six month process

[@howiemoth3847]

Yep, 6 mos. here / 6 months there ...

[@Waldo425]

This car is really awesome but I can’t get over the orange peel going on in that paint job. All it need is some cut and buff time and this car would be a work of art

[@neighbourninja]

Amen, brother. I cringed when I saw it. This car deserves no orange peel.

[@robp102]

2400 pound stock car with 300 pounds stripped out = 2100 pound car, then add a 400 pound driver

[@Armadurapersonal]

Needs some stage 0.5 weight reduction.

[@MegaE46]

Got damn I want one of these 🤬

[@ALBreezyx68]

Blood, sweat, tears and junk food and weight definitely paid off. Sorry I know sounds like far shamming but now I just notice when he started working in the car and years after completion the big difference if his face before and after lol. Cheers!!! I always enjoy car restoration when done right and a true car enthusiast. I always enjoy it when someone use original parts or at least from the same company and tastefully done s it would look stock with am updated drivability to modern street driving. Kudos to you Nerdy Ron Jeremy! I look forward in seeing your 2nd 2002 restoration! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥂🥃

[@arisgod2749]

And imagine how much better the care would be if the owner looses 200lbs.
