F20c powered 1972 BMW 2002
Hello all,
This is a project that I've been putting much work into for the past year and a half. I have hundred's of photos of the project (i'm creating a website), but now I'm in the finishing stages of the project and I know I'll have a few questions coming up soon. This is my short intro, but I'll have a few questions for y'all coming up soon, only asked after exhausting the search box).

I'm going to start posting photos of my '73 "s2002". I've chosen the s2ki forum to post these photos as it seems to be the site that has helped me most during my build. Here's the first batch of photos, many more to come.
The background of this car is that it's been sitting in my yard for a very long time, over 30yrs. It's been in my family a very long time, but oddly enough never as a running car! A couple of years ago I got the idea to fix it up and rather than trying to get an original engine (100hp) I decided to try to find a 4cyl rwd engine. Having owned two hondas in the past ('98 civic hatchback and '08 civic si) which I was completely happy with I went the s2000 route instead.
I'll post these photos in hopes that more people out there performing this swap will find them useful (as I've found other photos on forums help me out much too). If you have any questions, please let me know.
Oh yes. The goal is to get the car working by March 11, my wedding day. With a full time job, this has proved challenging. It's coming down to the wire, but either way, enjoy the photos, thanks for reading. I'll try to post for the next few days as I get them uploaded.

Looks like fun. What's with the upside down umbrella?
