‘91 E30

Anybody know if you can buy the e30 shift boot frame on its own? Everything I find online shows the frame being a part of the shift boot already.
I have a spare or two hanging around

If you are willing to part with them for a fee I am willing to purchase these goods from you

I'll verify that I didn't toss them
It'll cost you one roll of TP, the new currency!Nah I wouldn't worry about currency exchange

Decided against running the bolt-in 4pt. I set it up in the car and realized I didn’t want to drill holes in this car. So that is for sale. Got to work installing the floor plates/rear carpet/rear seat/speaker panels/front seat
pulled the protipo out and tossed the sparco wheel in to see if I’d like the wheel closer to me which I did. So I’ll be trying to sell the prototipo still if anyone is interested as well as the sparco (pictured)

Got the rest of the interior back together, less the sill plates. Those clips for the plates are the bane of my existence. I went on realoem, found the PN & ordered and I rec’d the wrong ones. If anyone knows the PN for the sill plate clips please let me know.
Finished putting together the rest of the interior.
tightened down the seatbelt anchors & tossed the rear seat in
floor plates tight & loosely installed the planted side plates installed seat belt receptacles with VAC adapters I kind of knew based on the drivers seat where to put the side mounts which helped
next up was the seat
it’s a super cup XL, which was wider than the Daytona XXL on the drivers side (which fit without issue). ran into a bit of an issue with the trans tunnel not allowing the seat to clear the door card. Changed the tilt and it clears now (still close though) door shuts like normal at least.
Installed the rest of the interior bits and here’s the result, less the annoying sill plates. Even put the floor mats in lol
Pretty happy with the interior now. Glad I put the rear seat back in even though it is no longer accessible, I never had anyone ride back there anyways.

I believe I have a bag of (50) of them, but that may have been E36 clips. Another thing I can check on.
Interior is looking clean!

Thanks man. I already ordered some. Hopefully these are the correct PN.

Back on the ground and it fired right up. The coolant “leak”/drip must’ve fixed itself because I Can’t see anything dripping from the area. Before I took it out I had to add some more power steering fluid and re align the steering wheel after having the steering shaft out during the firewall boot install
I need to get this ABS light off the dash, it’s super annoying. Also sometimes the brake fluid light flashes, it’s full though.
need to wash it so badly

Well after driving it around a little bit for a couple days, looks like there is a super slow coolant leak. Maybe the size of a half dollar after the car sits in the garage and cools down. Looks like the heater core hose area is a likely culprit.
Also need to get a brass radiator plug instead of the plastic one, for peace of mind. I think these are m12x1.5 according @B C
Alsox2 need to address the PS leak, seems to be weeping out of the threads on the pump. I’ve got some loctite brand hydraulic thread sealant that I’m going to try first.
other than the annoyances above it feels awesome to get back to driving. The one time we get an earlyish spring and bat soup ruins everyone’s year

Dont quote me on the thread size. I was high on Fun Dip when I googled that.
The reason we all cant have a drive with perfectly running cars at the same time is it would be the final straw that would end the world. It’s like having a complete row in Tetris.
it becomes complete and disappears.@YoungCR and @Bassboy3313 are the missing pieces

Well since it snowed today, I’m sure the city salted so this will be staying parked for a bit. Gives me time to finish some crap. Sill plate clips showed up. Posting this here so I have the right PN for when I need to remove my sill plates for some dumb reason and break all the clips again
