      Keep the 91 and get a new engine.

          Sell the 84, buy an m/s50.

                    Seel the 91 as parts, get old 2002 or 320i m10 engine and put euro chrome bumpers.

                    BMW 320i 2d 2.0 m20 -88

                        pull the m10 from the '84

                        sell the '84 shell.

                        buy some coke.

                        do the coke and put the '84 motor into the '91 shell.

                        then sell your daughter and buy a corvette.

                              Yes, the front is a direct bolt on. The rear is the only thing that requires custom work.
