Hi,

They have been doing this for over a
year now.

Not sure what they have proved with this,
only that you can Morph all the E60 M5
Running gear, drive train, suspension,
engine and box into a E30 Shell,
or whats left of it.

I bet you would be quicker in a well sorted
E30 M3 92/93 DTM spec Car around the Ring
than in the ''Franken E30 M3/M5''.

Much more of challenge to make the
V10 fit within the existing M3 paramiters
and use its running gear etc, just like
the V10 E30 M3 on You Tube, built by the
Swede.

At around 1.30 secs in it shows the engine bay
with all the original Strut turrets etc.

On e30.de there is a well built
E30 M3 with a BMW M5 S62 engine,
and a E30 M3 Cab with a V12 in there.

www.e30.de

scroll down the ''Hinewiese Fotostories'' till
you come to-AndiM356ic and Christoph M3 V8 5.0.

Some build pain there for sure.

Its all relative though is it not. Whichever way you do it its still a challenge.

Its in america so probably used for drag strip.

I am personally not into such things, but the build quality seems impressive. I would be interested to know how is the handling of the car. With all that weight at the front......

I remember couple of local guys from my neighborhood who put a VR6 engine in Golf GTI MK1. The car was not drivable due to the weight distribution apparently.

I like that.

I've seen this before, stunning build and the quality is jaw dropping! However, I said the same last time, I can't believe they built a project to this standard and left those shitty black wheels on the car, they are awful!

Some nice deep dish polished 17" splits would be perfect for it!
