Hartge h26 project.....the long road:) Oct 2014 begins:)

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......

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.....:)
jm

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 -_-

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 ;)

So I couldn't help but notice your muffler or at least the tips are aftermarket. Are you planning on getting the Hartge muffler or just the tips?

[2002jm]

tips

My plan is to find the tip, the muffler is expensive...and hard to find...well so is the tip:)
jm

[Bimmer_man]

There is usually one or two on eBay.De for the muffler and/or tips.

I purchased a Hartge tip for a guy on ebay.de once. I think he got it for like 40 euro. If you look they can be found affordably.

thanks

Thanks for the info. If you see one please let me know. It is about the last part for the build that I need.

quick update

Just some little projects from last Friday:
Took the car in to the exhaust shop and had them move the exhaust over about 3 inches so the rear valance will fit...that is going on Monday. Then I decided to put the hood insulation on...easy job, but it makes a big difference to the look under the hood.....
before:(

And now:)

Will update next week once I get the rear valance on....not a easy quick job!
Just noticed my camera dates are all wrong:)
