Has this been done before, any links to finished conversions?

My mates wanting to do the above on a E21 he's about to buy.

TIA

I took him out in mine and he was pleasantly surprised

But he still wants to go M52, more MPG

I've seen that conversion, it's mind blowing

I'm going to show him that tomorrow and a couple more and see what he thinks of it.

He's mainly into FORD's but I've persuaded him to do a BMW project this time

Haha, cheeky

No but I know more about BMW's than he does, I'm bringing him over to the right side

He's seen a 316 with a fucked engine, body is very clean apparently though.
