4.) Tbolt - bringing an e36 m3 rack and an e30 for some fusion of the two. possibly some fender rollage? bunch o other little stuff im sure too

I have a question as well. With summer around the corner I am thinking that this would be a good time to try to get some A/C going. When I bought my e30 in january the PO told me the a/c needed to be charged along with new seals. I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to a/c, what does this mean usually? Should I just order a retrofit kit for 134a? Whats the usual deal when the system needs to be charged/sealed.

I'm not an A/C guru by any chance, but you have to test the line for leak, and determine where its leaking first. Then vacuum the line, replace the dryer, and refill. Tehre is alot of diy on it. There is one of the e34 site, but you need a vacumm and a tester. at the least to diagnose it.

Sounds good, Tbolt, I just put my e36 rack in last weekend, so thats def. something we can do. As for the AC, get a retrofit kit for 134a that has the fitting adaptors and like yun said, get a new receiver dryer unit. 2 cans of 134a run about 20 bucks, just bought some last weekend.

Keep it coming, even if we dont have much to work on, it will make for a good meet.

So, the harbor frieght fender roller is on backorder indefinitely. I think ima have to buckle down and order an Eastwood roller.

[EtaSport]

Too bad on the harbor freight deal, hopefully you can find something
