I have a e34 535 manual and bizzarely a 328 prop sat in/next to my garage.

The 535 I have used and was intending to continue using as a tramp drifter but being into drifting I have seen and experienced more and more 335 drift cars which imo kick ass and make for awesome drifters.

I am tempted to buy a e30 shell and do the swap but I am not a mechanically minded person and havent ever dont much past the odd brake/suspension/water pump swap and normally would pay for that if not broke lol.

Wondering if anyone on here with experience of the job offers a fitting service.

Theres Lee at GVS who's doing mine atm, plus has nearly all parts avaiable to hand as he's got lots of spares to hand.
Make sure you get a diff sorted out and the engine mounts before even starting the conversion.
:cool:

Kinda hoping with a whole e34 I would have most of what I needed.

I know I need the prop (got) engine mounts (can buy off a bloke on here iirc) but everything else I am unsure about.
