Deano1968 37 Report post Posted August 21 Hi. I'm considering a mechanical restoration of an E9. Basically suspension, brakes and steering. Please let me know if you have parts you'd consider getting rid of before I start putting together an overseas order. Will consider other parts as well. Cheers.

Mad_Max 228 Report post Posted August 21 I've got an E3 here for parts that I shouldn't need suspension from, also think I may have both front and rear subframes with arms etc, plus maybe a steering column - can't remember if I kept the column. Subframes were removed complete, not sure of the state of the parts TBH so depends on what your plan is. Also hoping you aren't looking for these parts in a major hurry as getting to them is near impossible at the moment, it's a summertime job haha.

Deano1968 37 Report post Posted August 21 Thanks Geordie. Love the E3. Sorry, i should have elaborated. I have those parts as well, as the car is complete. I'm looking for new/near new service parts e.g. bushes, lowered springs, shock absorbers, brake boosters, caliper kits, etc. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will recommend a couple of places - Schmiedmann out of Denmark I think they are (https://www.schmiedmann.com/) and Wallothnesch out of Germany (https://www.wallothnesch.com/en/). Schmeidmann to me are far cheaper than buying from the US, and shipping is generally incredibly quick (usually around a week). Wallothnesch specialise in NOS for the classics - and their pricing is extremely realistic, though they are a bit hit and miss as to what they have in stock at the time. However, you can't beat around $40NZD for a front indicator lense that's NOS for an E3 3.0, when everyone else was asking $400 second hand. I get trade pricing out of Schmeidmann too, so if you get me a list of part numbers they've got that you need, I can see what sort of price I can get them for for you.

Deano1968 37 Report post Posted August 21 Thanks Geordie. I appreciate it. It'll take me a couple of weeks to put a list together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
