1972 BMW 2002

• Maroon paint is glossy across the hood, doors and trunk in the sunset photos, panels line up straight and the chrome bumpers and trim are bright — no paint or body budget from these photos.
• The front wheel-arch close-up shows small paint chips and scratches along the arch lip and lower fender — budget for touch-ins, not panel paint from these photos.
• Turbine-style alloy wheels look clean and the tyres show good tread — no wheel or tyre budget from these photos.
• Tan vinyl seats and door cards look fresh and uncreased in the cabin photo, with a tidy dash and carpets — no retrim budget from these photos.
• A floor close-up under the carpet shows dark, rust-stained metal with surface corrosion — budget for a floor and rocker rust inspection, not a guess from these photos.
• The trunk-side rear shock tower is shown coated and appears solid at its mount in the photo, a good 2002 check to see photographed — no tower repair budget from this photo alone.
• Engine bay paint is glossy and the bay is complete, with an aftermarket air filter and aged components — no cosmetic bay budget from these photos, and photos cannot judge how it runs.
• The underside photo shows heavy surface rust along the rocker and floor edges and a rusty exhaust — budget for underside rust work, not just treatment, from these photos.

Money: Pretty paint and a fresh-looking cabin hide the bill underneath — the photos themselves show rocker and floor rust, and that is where this 2002's money goes.
