Barron (411) said you beat him to the Hartge steering wheel. You bought for a good price.

Yes, I can't believe I got the steering wheel....came out of the blue so to speak:).
Will have to check under the carpet soon:) and get the valve cover back on:)

.....if that we're my h26, the very first thing I'd be doing is to pull the carpet and see what the floor looks like. That is when you truly find out what you have.

Floor pans aren't that bad to replace though. Its the body panels that are a pain to replace

Got the Hartge valve cover off today, will post a picture when I get it cleaned up. Needs a new gasket for sure:)

Ah ok, thanks for the quick reply. Do you think that is a good price for that? I've seen it re-listed a couple of times...

In my opinion I think it is worth only $250. If it had Hartge badge on it I would $300-350.
The Hartge bar on ebay has no cut out on passenger strut bar for ground wire. On driver side has cut out for early 323i fuse box bolt holder to strut tower.

and theres your answer

They are just badges. It more then likely fell off. Also I believe early hartge strut bars didn't come with badges.

The early Hartge strut bars came with a chrome aluminum Hartge badge double side tape. On the e30 m3 and 318is came with a smaller plate and a white Hartge sticker. The m3 and 318is bar bar sits further away for fire wall to allow the plastic trim cover that cover the engine harness.

This would probably be a good question for you, why does this "Hartge" Strut Bar not have the Hartge name on it? I don't know a lot about Hartge parts and I figured this would be a good question for you...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bmw-Hartge-S...546b67&vxp=mtr

Beautiful cars btw!

One reason is because badge is actually just stuck on w double sided tape..... Eventually most fall off

I've seen that before and question authenticity. There is a similar one with an ACS badge on it- incorrect era font and all.
Then there are generic ebay strut bars that looks just like it.
