[QUOTE=_kanon;4389603]Tail lights are super easy :) I'd probably replace the gasket while you're at it, mine leaked through for the first month or two that I had the car and it flooded my rear battery area -_-

Yes, will make sure the gaskets are good, my battery is in the front:)

But this car will never see rain or snow:)
Oh yeh, it will get washed on Friday....

Thanks for posting this information. Looks like I could part my car out for about 8-9k:)....now back to putting my oem tail lights on.....:)

The three pi ce wheels 16s usually go for 3k to 3200 and the 17s 3600. Raul told me those numbers because I'm hunting for the 17s myself.

I saw the 3 piece OZ's go for 3k. I did not know that they made 4x100 17 Hartge's for the E30 (can you link a picture?) - I had originally thought they made a few OZ models - I think there is a 14", 15" and the three piece with the nice lip. Then there is the 1 piece ronals that are 16" 4x100 ET25 (the one's jm and i have)

EDIT* http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=326709

Raul has pictures of the catalog and it lists two different sizes (17x7.5 and 17x8.5) for the 17"!


Typically I think the non 3 piece OZ's go for <1000~1500. The Ronal for 1600-2500 depending on condition and the 3 piece for 3k+ I could be wrong though. Waiting for a Hartge guru to chime in....

Personally i like the concave look more ;)

No parting for h26....:)

I would not recommend parting a car like yours at all. Keep putting that beauty together and sit back in a lawn chair with a cold one and admire your work for years to come.

No way is this car getting parted:)!! I just said that because of the price of hartge parts and the number of parts hartge and euro on my car that it might be worth 8-9:)
Now, back to the car.....new hood insulation coming Friday......

Will do :) So far my search has found these prices (in USD) - and all of them - extremely hard to find.

Valve cover - 1000~ (I just bought one oh God what is happening to me)
Badges - 150~
Rear Wing (later M3-esque mid rise one) - 300~
Steering Wheel - 600 (over priced I believe - should be around 450~)
Wheels - Depending on the model 900-2000~ with the 3 piece 16"(?) OZ and the 1 piece 16" ET25 Ronals (both in 4x100) being the most desirable.

Your help would be appreciated Raul! :D

Also - Just managed to snag a spoiler! But ran into a small issue. There's some damage on the mounting area. He's asking 330 shipped from across the world - which I think is fairly reasonable. Here's a photo: (sorry for thread jacking you again. I will move this convo to PM if it bothers you)

If you are posting pictures of parts that give people an idea of costs and availability, feel free to post in this thread....that is the purpose of the thread. I want as much information as we can get into this thread to help those that might be planning on buying a Hartge or making a clone.
thanks,
jm
