    Can you still buy new rear bumper?

    As in OEM - yes at least the LH extension is in stock at Partsouq (5210760130) for a pricey $180. Otherwise lots of steel rear bar options.

    Straw poll - is Partsouq or Amayama better/more reliable?

    Both are reliable - certainly been my experience. For me, the key difference between the two is shipping/speed, parts availability and flexibility at check out. Shipping: Partsouq typically ship DHL and there shipping quote is reasonable for most small items (Anayama was more expensive for...

    1hdft 3" exhaust upgrade

    Sounds like your bragging. But yes, should be the same style dump pipe (I was told the opposite when ordered!). I would highly recommend replacing dump pipe nuts and gasket. Note that the exhaust hangars supplied by Xforce are very basic and a bit crap - but solid. For my 1HDT the hangers needed...

    1hdft 3" exhaust upgrade

    Yep - Xforce 3" exhaust cost me 500 ex. vat delivered to the UK, and I am pleased with the end result. The performance difference from the factory exhaust is noticeable - easily the best mod I have done. Quality seems good - although I have no experience with other SS exhausts - presumably more...

    Anyone else had these 80 issues? Rust in roof around backdoor weather strip and busted metal around rear hinge assay

    Many thanks - the upper picture is actually the lower tailgate which I didn't make clear. The crack is the body, where the hinge attaches. There is a fair bit of flexing in the body when you push on the tailgate, so I would want it re-enforced.

    Anyone else had these 80 issues? Rust in roof around backdoor weather strip and busted metal around rear hinge assay

    Pretty good - far from perfect - but the usual sports for me are generally pretty good (rear sliding windows, sills, front fender arches, wheel arches - I guess everywhere else!).

    Anyone else had these 80 issues? Rust in roof around backdoor weather strip and busted metal around rear hinge assay

    Hi there. Sorry if this is a bit abstract! So. I've been slowly fixing a very low km UK 12V 80 series - rust and body work is exhausting, and particularly without a garage. I've attached two images. One is the tailgate hinge. The metal around the left hinge assay has cracked (pic might be a...

    Wheel arch clips and wing fixings

    Or if you don't mind paying DHL, and want OEM then PartSouq - at the very least you will find diagrams and part numbers here that you can reference https://partsouq.com/en

    ASFIR spare tyre carrier

    Sorry, just to wrap this up. The manufacturer says it attaches to the bumper which attaches to the chassis - so a bit vague but presumably wouldn't take much to make it fit. For me, I think the spindle location is the deal breaker - the ASFIR bumper is very square, and the spindle would really...
