[7] 1976 Bmw 2002 Becomes Annually Picture

Classic cars, more so than modern ones, are often blank canvases waiting for the owner's perfect design. On the newest episode of Petrolicious, the team takes a look at a 1976 BMW 2002 built and customized by a young enthusiast as a reflection of his own interpretation of his perfect car.

With a deficit of both tools and experience, Carter Kelly Kramer learned the hard way to not buy cars on eBay sight-unseen. The ratty old 2002 that he had purchased turned out to be in far poorer condition than the ad had let on, with a bucketful of rust and mechanical issues. Undaunted, he took the car home with him, where he promptly crashed it through a fence. Kramer's excuse? "All 16-year-olds think they are the best drivers."

After fixing up the front end and making sure the car was running properly over the course of a few years, he parted ways with his beloved 2002 for a more modern BMW E30, but ended up buying the car back after just two months.

He painted it in a beautiful orange hue, added aggressive body flares, and added a few other touches to make the car his own. Now, it serves as his dream car and inspiration, a rolling representation of his own creativity and design.
