A miracle :lol: Only joking, one of the zoner's will be along soon to help but it might turn into more of a talk about your E30 being a picker. Do you have any pics?

I've seen this done in Japan a lot, with S13's and SilEighty's. Looks fantastic when done right. Although i would be as quick to chop up an E30!

Front is the same so yes, or do you mean the pickup bit?! :D

Might be tricky with the 4 door, the B pillar is a lot further forward than the 2 door, and you can't just lop it off there as the front seats would be a little uncomfy unless you are 5 foot nothin..
