I have some herringbone sport seats so I am trying to get all the rest of the interior in herringbone to finish the hartge up...then it is on to some basic maint. items this summer.

little update

Well, it has been awhile since I updated this thread. Been working on three other e30's :)
Found the herringbone interior for the h26...had to buy a car to get the interior. So I switched the houndstooth from the h26 to the 88is that I bought. So now after 2 years, the interior all matches:)
Will get some pictures up soon...or just think herringbone sport seats and rear seat with head rest and door panels that match:)

not done with the hartge

Got busy working on the ix today, so I did not get all the door cards on the hartge.
But here are a couple of pictures of the hartge. Back seat needs some cleaning up:)



Here is the 89ix, might be built as an hartge clone:)


And of course, can't just have 2 e30's:)

1988 325is, getting ready to be sold next week:)

They look good....

Have you decided on Hartge e21 model H3 180hp or 35i 210hp?
You know Frank has a E21 Hartge mono wiper kits on his H3 and yellow Baur 35i.

Thanks Raul: Thinking 3.5i, but finding the m30 engine is going to be fun. I need to find some detailed links or something on how to put the engine in. I think I need the alpina engine supports and a 323i euro subframe; not sure what else. Tranny should work fine:).
If anyone has some information, please let me know.

Hi: Should I be looking for an early 78-80 euro engine; maybe from a euro 635csi?

You can ask Frank for copies about the Alpina B6 2.8 steel motors. Hartge and Alpina e21 m30 sat in the engine bay the same position.

motor mounts

So the motor mounts from a 78 635csi euro are not going to work?
thanks,
