Anyone ever done it here? I know it has been done! but looking to find out how easy/hard it is to do and some info on what bits to use.
Suerly you can pick up a cheap V12 and a cheap E30 with no engine/box etc.
Thanks in advance.
E30 5.0 V12

You can pick up a G or H plate 7 series for about a grand i'd immagine, that's cheap considering imo!

Trying to find a 20 year old car/engine that doesn't need any money spent on it is like trying to find a hens tooth.
This conversion is for the rich and the brave and is not quite as simple as turning two £250 snotters into 1 running useable car , ask Dips and Glenn !
