I have never seen one of those for sale. Looks like a really nice pod and gauges....

thanks for the help on the build

Hey Austin: Thanks for the help on the build!!! One more part done for the interior of the h26. Soon it will look like a time machine from 1985!!
thanks,

Looks awesome :)

Side note. my wheels got stuck in the UK because the tire pressure was too high :( I think they might be flown over - not 100% sure.

[2002jm]

yes

I would think they would fly them over and at 38k feet high pressure might be an issue. Seems like they would just let the air out:), not like it will make any difference.
Have to post a picture of them when they come in.

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,

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.

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.

[2002jm]

Good information

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.....:)

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.
