- I bought this car at an auction! It has been sitting in the same spot since at least 2008, but it will not sit any longer. Let's get this little Nugget started and then take a few videos to sort things out and make it a driver. Should I make it a Rat Rod? Should I keep the Patina? Stay tuned and make sure to follow along!
Check under the bonnet lid when you opened it in the field to try and get it to start their was loads of leaves and crap it may of got on the starting pipe
It's great to be back! Many of you may know that I don't like European cars, but I have always loved the style of the 2002, so I had to get this. I have big plans, so I hope you follow along!
Nice to see you are getting the 2002,to work on it*s own power.
Good shit. It's always satisfying getting it up and running!
Thanks bro!
I dont think much you creeping the car out on the starter. That stresses out a lot of the starting system. But its a wonderful car i learned driving standard on one of these
Well, in Tactical Ground Mobility training with the military, they taught us to use the starter to pull trucks uphill if we were to stall them mid-climb. The reason for that is to not burn out the clutch with an ascending re-start. In fact, '80's Toyotas had Clutch Bypass switches installed from the factory for the same use. So YOU don't have to think much of it, because I'm sure this is the first time you've seen such a maneuver, but the rest of us who are in-the-know will continue to do this safe procedure. It really is a neat car though. Thanks for swinging by.
Damn ! You really tried to burnout that starter🤣. Good video. 👍
Nah. That's why I went for a few seconds then stopped. Battery and ground cables were the reason it didn't crank worth a damn, so it never really got enough current to ever burn up. It's all good now, after the fact. Lol
Lucky man! I would love to restore this sweet little carbureted 4 banger.
It will be a FULL restoration (a bit custom though) on my channel eventually. It will be tastefully updated to more modern tastes, but with a vintage feel. I hope you stick around for it.
The one in the trailer has nothing to save. You have cleaned someone´s backyard. But is really nice to fire it up and it´s ideling as if it never been stopped for a long term! Greetings from Argentina! (sorry about my English!)
The bad car had good glass that I removed, but there was not much else to save. Your English is great! Much better than my Spanish. Gracias por ver!
Great to see this 2002 fire up without throwing any new parts at it. What happened to the wasps?. Cheers dude
My little wasp harem is still there, I checked on them today. They have been busy...I don't understand what they do, but they have been doing it. lol
About the tractor noise, just adjust the valves to 0.20mm or 0.008in and she'll purr like a kitten again. 🐈
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely get in there some day to make adjustments.
Hey good luck with your 2002 project
I'm in the process of restoring a 1973 2002tii in Algave green So 2002 stands for 2002 places you'll find rust
You'd think I had a hatchback, because I got rust in 2003 places! Lol
But thanks man, I already have some awesome upgrades for it. (EFI, LSD, 5-speed, seats, etc.) I can't wait to make some room between my other 12 project cars so that I can get started on it!

Mine needed nose, doors, trunk lid
Fenders trunk floor outside rocker skins, floor was good Mine was covered in hundres of mud wasp nests When l bought mine it already had Ireland engineering stage two suspension LSD and five speed conversion Mine got started early last year so my restorer managed to get the parts needed But now he's crying for parts ashe has another 5 in the queue!
Have you heard of restoration design in Canada l got lots of parts from them and good quality Took 8 months to get my injector pump rebuilt
..happen to be acquainted to Mr. B as a kid in Western Nebraska. He could have challenged most master mechanics 20 years ago.. laughing at the negetive comments.. by the way I'm 37.. let that sink in.
DONNY! Glad to have you swing by my little channel!
Just found your vids love the work subbed telling my mates cheers
Awesome, thank you!
Why dont you try the spare car with jump leads to start it
Now that we're in the future, I can report that it was exactly what I thought it was: bad battery and ground cables. I've since replaced them and cleaned up their connection points, and it turns over much faster and easier.
First wash on it will really be fun 😉😉😉
I did wash it in the video. But I'll consider its "first wash" complete after I fix the rust and repaint it. Then it will be really fun!
Get the green one going too!
The green one isn't mine. I bought this from an estate auction, and someone else got the green one. I've got some cool plans for this one though, so stay tuned if you don't mind some American and Japanese cars here and there.
These have points, might have been an idea to check/clean them and put a bit of fuel in the carb. How you can NOT like european cars is astonishing to be frank.
I did put fuel in the carb...
I've had a few VWs, and friends with BMW, Audi, etc. and they were ALL junk. The only reason I bought this is because it's too old to be in the era where the Germans realized that they could add some pomp and pretentiousness and make people think they are buying quality because: "European"
Does it have gas in the tank?
It did, and that's what it was running on towards the end of the video! I was surprised it ran on the old gas. Lol
The fogging oil would have instantly met that wasps nest.
Nah, man. Those little buggers haven't hurt anybody. However, they will need to be evicted some day, and hopefully I can convince them to move without threat of death.
Nice
Thanks! She's a little rough, but this will be a decent little project.
The other 02 looked better why nit buy that one
It did look a lot better, but sold for nearly 5x more. I don't have that kind of money.
I have a bumper you can have for the cost of shipping
That's awesome! I'm doing a road trip soon from VA to Chicago. If you're anywhere near that route, I can come pick it up. Or we can figure out shipping.
@@tinygaragefab nope, I'm in Texas.
I think you should focus on American muscle and leave the BMW to a German like Me🥴🤑
Then who should I leave all my vintage Toyotas with?!?!? Lolol
needs a new body
Nah, I have the skills and tools to make all the repair panels needed. Stay tuned for an impressive transformation!
Wow running a car on shellac gas ⛽
Technically running it on Mountain Dew gas from a fresh container, but perhaps some old gas (probably non-ethanol due to how old it is) got in. If you think I'll just "send it" without rebuilding the carb, changing fluids and ignition components, then you don't really know me. BTW, I missed your video on how to do everything "The right way."
not a good idea......
What part? You must be new to my channel... lol
