Engine:

This is a late 1969 BMW 2002 that was originally titled as a 1970.  I bought the car in 1994.  In the spring of 1999 I decided to completely redo the car.  After a great deal of work the car is totally rust free and the following modifications were made.

Auto Cross:

I've been attempting to put the little monster to some use and started auto crossing with the Ozark's Mountain Region SCCA chapter.  It's a lot of fun trying different adjustments on the car.  I'm not the fastest guy out there but I do enjoy working on my driving and I get a lot of compliments on the looks.  Albeit the competition is a little thin in FSP, I did manage to win the FSP class in 2004.

This is THE TJ Jeep with the 4.0 liter straight 6 cylinder and the Rubicon package that includes Dana 44 air locker front and rear axles and all of the factory options that makes it the most capable 4 wheel drive vehicle available.
