[QUOTE=learningcurve86;2489686]Oh, and would anyone want the seat covers from the photo? I'm considering going back for them. I could use another night in Hamburg.


Pmed you about Mtech 2 steering wheel.

[psyber_0ptix]

Get me a St.Pauli Skull/crossbones hoody from the Reeperbahn...i forgot to get one the last time i was there.

[psyber_0ptix]

Greg, i know its going to be hard, but if you can find an MZ3 rear trailing arm set (just the trailing arms and drum hardware) i've been dying to have a balanced brake setup with the e36m3 fronts.

thats truly the last thing i think i need for the car. All other plans for boost and mods have been scrapped otherwise. I wont have time or money to tinker with this stuff till after graduation...or grad school

[RobertK]

RobertK: I've seen those on a car at my work, but not in junkyards. I'll look for them

You're a good man.. LMK if you find any.

[ck_taft325is]

Any M-Tech 2 wheels found and sourced? You find one, I'll buy it. Also, euro late plastic bumper trim and euro grills would be awesome!

[learningcurve86]

No Mtech stuff at all found yet, there's already a person that called 'dibs'...

I'm currently about to get on a train to head home, once I do I'm going to try and work on a list of who wants the more frequent stuff so that way this stays in order. IE: smilies, grills, euroweaves

I'm trying to nail down a a junkyard to go to tomorow as well, and will try and do some better shipping cost estimates next week.

[spanishflea]

+1 on these. seriously.
... and a euro clock, please and thank you.

euro grills sans highbeam opening and euro smiley, just low beam so i can retrofit.

and for serious, shipping quote on a mk3 hatch for my buddy nick. he is expecting it to be a bit, but has begged me for a long time

[KirkerBezerker]

Why does everybody think that he will be finding all these rare m tech and mhw parts at a junkyard?

"oh if you find a mint bodykit from an alpina e30, I got dibs"

[accident]

dibs on Racing Dynamics 24v M20 head?

[learningcurve86]

Payam: just call me.

and how the hell am i supposed to transport a hatch without a car?

Kirker: hahaha. exactly.

Just went to my second yard of the weekend. Neither if which had a single e30, but one guy had some lights. I grabbed a set of e34 smilies, a full driverside e30 smilie setup and an extra e30 smilie light, but it's the drivers side. Going to try and go to another yard before I leave the town I'm in (Salzgitter, if anyone is interested) and I'll take photos when I get home.

Looking to get a nice set of e30 smiley.

Okay guys, I went to thee junkyards this weekend and didn't have as much luck as I had hoped, but I had some.

I now have a complete e34 euro smilie set, and the 1.5 e30 set. I will be going back to that junkyard in Hamburg next weekend I think and will be able to make at least one complete e30 setup as well.

Interesting fact: the e34 smilies are made by Hella, while the e30 setup is Bosh. The lights are almost identical, but the bracket that CONNECTS TO THE CAR is what is different. I need to get a set of pliers to be sure, but i'm 99.9999999% sure that the e34 lights WILL fit into an e30 bracket, thus making it way way easier to make sets for e30s. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE, however, with the city lights. the body for the e34 is slightly longer, and due to a space constraint issue if an e34 light were used in an e30 bracket, and e30 city light would be required, and they have a slightly shorter neck.

I think what I'm going to do to test this out and see how the lights look is make a Frankenstein setup and mail them home to a buddy in RI, who will then install them and take photos... after that we'll be in business.

Here are some photos of what I have so far. Also: the e30 light seems to be adjustable... anyone have any input on this?



e34 bracket...


e30 bracket...




I'm considering going back for these seats. It would be a full set, but the driver's side bolster is torn. Any interest? Anyone know what they're worth? i feel like it'll be a PIA to pull the fabric off (I'm not mailing the whole seats)... and want to be sure its worth doing before I take a two day trip to go get them.
