In this episode of Larry Chen's adventures at the SUA show, we witness a remarkable BMW 2002 build by the talented Mano. This 1974 chassis underwent a stunning transformation into a GTS Lime Rock Edition, exuding authenticity and attention to detail. From the all-steel sheet metal work to the carbon components, every aspect of this build screams dedication to the craft. Under the hood lies a potent M20 2.5 motor with a 32 crank, delivering a distinctive two-valve sound that sets this car apart from the crowd.

With up to 500 horsepower on E85 fuel, this beast is no slouch on the road. The custom wheel setup, featuring 15 by 9 zero offset rims, complements the wide fenders and adds to the aggressive stance of the vehicle. Inside, the interior is a blend of simplicity and classic charm, with Ricardo seats, rear seat delete, and a focus on the driver's experience. The orange accents and retro design elements tie the whole look together, creating a cohesive and visually striking package.

What sets this build apart is not just the power or the aesthetics, but the builder's philosophy of simplicity and reliability. By using factory lines and Euro-style bumpers, the car maintains a timeless appeal while incorporating modern performance upgrades. The strategic placement of the intercooler in the engine bay harks back to the turbo BMW models of the 1980s, showcasing a deep understanding of automotive history and design. Overall, this BMW 2002 is a true testament to the art of hot rodding, blending old-school charm with modern performance in a package that is as exhilarating to drive as it is to behold.
