  1. Shipping to NY? Nice wheels!
  2. Hey, Driver's side rear quarter ^ is dluck123 hasn't got dibs and driver's door. Can pay shipping to NY. Thank you, C
  3. Could I buy the driver's side door off you? I am in NY and willing to pay shipping. If you know how to angle grind let me know.. I want some other parts if they are useable. Let me know about the door - mine has bondo and rust, I need a new one! Thank you, Chris
  4. I looked at this, I managed to squeeze in cotter pins today Just needed a bit of time and patience, I don't have the plastic piece like mentioned, but after stripping thread on one castle nut I was really worried! Only put 35lb onto it too. Seems to be fine, just wish I could have had a more heavy duty cotter pin in there.
  5. So glad I found this post but.. just did center link today- after doing front bushes tie rods ball joints the works, I'm still baffled these big fat rubber washers don't seem to let me to torque down the nut enough- I did it to around 30lb - but the castle nut still is not far enough down to put a new cotter pin through- scared of driving the car without the pin! have I missed something? In fact, one of the new castle nuts thread wore right out- it was a cheapo. I think I paid 55 for the center link total. can I just use nylon nuts? I feel that these big rubber washers are too much to get a cotter pin through.. Will try take photos.
  6. Should I have felt on the outer seal? For some reason my car does. I feel like as soon as it rains it's going to fill up. Any help on this? Guessing it wasn't put on right and needs the rubber strip seal
  7. Hey Malcolm. Sorry for ignorance but why is the rocker panel with the lower quarter half the price of the rocker panel without, but with the jack points? Am I missing something? I am very new to the e10.. came from the e30.

    Do need one and want to buy soon so any info on this would be great.

     

    Thank you.

  8. Cheers for all the comments. Bloody amazing! Going to see how much I can clean this up myself on the weekend before taking it in. DIY sounds alright to me. Wish it was a show car but it's definitely just a Sunday hack and I can spend the cash on new panels. It's a tight budget!
  9. Thanks a bunch Tommy! Will have it done in that case. Cheers, Chris.
  10. Awesome article. Did you repaint your subframe or have it done? What does this cost roughly and what is the paint type required? Is it powder coated? Cheers, C.
  11. Excuse my ignorance here.. I have a '72 which I want to restore. Ideally no cutting corners, I would love it to last! This weekend I plan to drop the front subframe (doing the wood over the strut method to hold engine) to install new rods, bushings, balljoints, discs etc, as my plan is underbody / mechanical, brakes/suspension, then bodywork, and finally the interior. I wanted to know if I should be dropping the frame off at a powder coaters to have re-done? It's got a little surface rust, nothing major. Is this worth while? Should I just sand back to metal, prime and paint myself? (Or, does anyone know from experience a rough cost to have done?). I can do most things but not body work. I am yet to learn. Figured it'd be worth a shot. Is there any specific paints or methods to do so? I also don't have a spray gun. But I'd love a shiny new subframe! So far I've looked into just wire brush on a drill, that red anti rust primer, not sure what to do next.. Sorry if this has been posted but I couldn't find much info. Thanks.
  12. Hi do you have a pic of the driver's side quarter panel? Would you sell the nose? Is it in good shape?
  13. Sorry for ignorance but why is the rocker panel with the lower quarter half the price of the rocker panel without, but with the jack points? Am I missing something? I am very new to the e10.. came from the e30.. Need a replacement regardless but I'm not sure which to buy. Thanks, awesome to see you're out of Canada.
  14. Engine wiring if you still have it. From fuse box (or including) ?
  15. Keen on that driver's Quarter Panel if you don't sell it soon. Just message me if possible to cut out and send to NY. PM'd you.
  16. If you end up getting your chrome seat fittings, I'd be interested in buying the old black stock ones if you have them. After a driver's side (inner) gearing. Mine is worn out so I end up doing an ab workout while driving. My back support on one side just lays right back. Thanks
