That sounds utterly insane! A V10 in an e30 shell. Nuts. But I think that you've got your images and links confused. The bottom 3 pics (the afters) don't look like the same car and the two links to the original article both return to this thread.  ------------- B73 '88 M3 EvoII '03 M3 CSL |

http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/03/project-frankenstein-1988-bmw-m3-with.html - Working Link... I bet the balance of the car is way off and it probably doesn't handle anywhere like the original setup! ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |
