e30 m50b25 cracked (more like shattered) sump

[w_elliot 7]

the title says it all, hit a rock on that was sitting in the middle of arthurs pass road this morning and put a hole in my sump the size of a 50c coin and a crack running right down one edge, turned the engine off about half a second after it hit so luckily the engine didn't have time to play the oil starvation game. this brings me to the question does anyone know of a good alloy welder in chch who won't keep me waiting for ages? really need the car to be back in action by wednesday. or even better, does anyone on here who lives in christchurch want to sell me a sump? I believe it uses one out of an e34 but don't quote me, someone on here might know better?

Yep, you need an E34 M5x sump.
