Do you still have the valence? Lip? Fog lights? Brake ducts? And how much? A wild cat took out the left side of mine.

Thanks Allan and Andrew, I am starting to lean towards a E36 rack now just knowing it will be a bit younger. The first rack seems to have lasted 260k km so getting another E30 that’s 30 odd years old may not be the smartest proposition for not having another rack crap out on me in a short space of time. As this is one of our daily drivers i’m trying to keep it off the road for the least amount of time, which kinda puts out getting the rack rebuilt by someone competent, and being way down south does make sorting all this stuff just that more challenging.

Thanks Nick, I'm leaning towards buying a rack rather than rebuilding, it seemed like such a good idea last night, but in the cold light of day i realised it would be a PITA

So my wife gives me a call after driving the E30 to work saying it's sprung an oil leak, and sends a photo of a substance draining from the vehicle at a good rate. I go in to see whats going on and discover that the steering rack boot is where the fluid is coming from, sigh a relief that it wasn't worse, leave her with the wagon and baby the coupe home. I think to myself "I'll just order a rebuild kit, it can't be that hard" and slowly as I research and crawl under the car for part numbers realise that this could be a real sh*t job. Important info: Car: E30 318is 1990 VIN: WBAAF92020EE46058 rack part number (also in photo): 7832 955 155 Location: Central Otago (yeah this would be a lot easier in a city) So my question is? do I order a rebuild kit, because lets face it I currently have the time, none of the specialist tools but I'm a kiwi male so I should be able to work it out? or Do i replace the rack with a second hand rack, save myself plenty of cursing but have no idea how good the seals are? With regard to replacement racks, I don't really want to add sorting out steering linkage while I'm at this so potentially E36 etc racks are out (unless you have a good argument). Any and all help would be most appreciated. Regards Joshua

Hi Fraser, Springs are all yours, PM me with when suits to pick up or drop off. And thats all folks, Graham got in there with the wheels and spacers so i'm all sold out till next time (pending payments) Regards Joshua

All goods are in Auckland though in a couple of weeks I'll be driving down to Alexandra with a van so so long as your not out of the way I can do drop offs.

Do you still have the 15" ?

I would go $500 and Toby can have one of the centre caps.

How much you looking at for the 15" basket weaves?

Dam, the search for the perfect wheels for the wagon continues. Are you selling the foglights and switch?

How much are you looking at for your weaves? that is if they are still available.
