A bit of delay on starting getting parts from doner car as i now got a convertable see pics


Proper update to follow.

Have you got a price in mind for them all, think it would look cool to have same wheels on 2 of my cars.

Car looks good, what size are those wheels, are they all same width as i got 2 wheels the now rear is wider. will you split or is it buy all 7.

this will be good to watch being put together, what engine is it getting? good luck btw 8) Hopefully be cutting up doner car in the next few weeks to get body parts required. Not sure on engine yet probably run existing with possability of fully rebuilding spare 25 engine if it doesn't go into 316....

I am chilled I just wanted to point out this kind of job isnt to be taken light heartedly. It is a job for pros. Sounds like he knows what he doing going by what you have said, but modifying seats isnt the same. Anyway I will be watching this thread as I really like the idea. Now get on with it.. M...

Sorry there's not been any updates, i'v been busy with work and stuff. Mike dont worry mate i know what im doing, im not seriously altering the body only moving a piller a few inch so the 2 door door will fit, if anything time im finnished the car will be stronger.

If Mike is RM2186 yes it was his. Here's a pic

Is your sig more or less what the plan for it is? If so, for the rear side windows.... is the center pillar going to be like the C-pillar on a saloon in order to fit the saloon rear quater windows and then get some custom glass made up for the rear most side windows? Good chance to fit some pop-out...

Awesome, very cool bit of driving.

Thought it might be something different, a lot of work ahead but rekon it'll be worth it. Looks like i'll be going to Moffat coming weekend so be able to get some good pics of car before i start. Just finnished fabricating front subframes so Recaro's should be fitted tomorrow, rear seat may be a pro...

Started collecting parts for modifying probably the manual tourer, im looking at converting it to a 2 door and fitting wide arch kit, as you can guess this will be a long term project, updates and pics to follow

I'v got a set of 5 stud 18" and 19" alloys, also looking at fitting M3 style wide bodykit. Thought if it was an easy thing to do i could use wheels i got, might look and see what big and wide 4 stud wheels are available.

Cheers
Graham

I would like to convert to 5 stud hubs, is this simple to do without going for M3 parts. Been told E36 hubs fit but not sure info is correct.
