    yes a LOOONG time ago. Maybe even back in the BEN days. If I remember correctly the guy was hell bent on making a "new" e30 and purchased a new '94ish unibody through BMW.

      Yes, I understand that you wanted to resume a coldly professional relationship after I left God's Country. I don't blame you, after I had so rudely left your decimated anus so raw that you had to use flushable Wet Ones and a daily application of fish liver oil salve for weeks afterwards. The least I could have done was to give you a call to make sure my favorite plow was in decent spirits. I apologize.

      Can I get back on Tier 1 pricing?

          ^ Fuck me, that is nuts. I can't tell if it is sans sunroof, but it's pretty amazing to look at. I suppose it has no VIN?

                Really.. I love 4 doors, actually prefer 4 doors, but just don't like 4 door E30s, dont like them with 5 either.

                Nevermind, went back and saw the thread. Looks cool, even with the stupid front end, I can let that slide on a track only car.

                    Well, for the route he is going for that car I'd say a 4-door is probably the preferred choice in terms of rigidity. It has been noted numerous times that the 4-door chassis is noticably stiffer than the 2-door chassis.

                    Agreed, it's an incredible build with or without the weird front end. Kind of sucks that he didn't just build a perfectly bone stock E30 off of that chassis (like some sort of Mobile Tradition thing) but it's still neat nonetheless.

                      I want to see a bone stock M3, too many E30 M3s have S5x in them, I would keep the S14. Bone stock regular E30 would be cool because 98% of them are beat down but wouldn't be too impressive with sealed beams and a 10 inch ground clearence on 14 inch wheels.

                        The loose nut behind the wheel is PRICELESS! Don't bend it! :)

                              just cause you have seen "a lot" of 14yr old on a forum saying they are stiffer doesn't mean its true. And just because you have driven a 2dr & 4dr doesn't mean shit. There are TONS of factors like susp, bushings, age of parts, tires....

                                You seemed pretty sure that my statement was BS, so I figured you'd provide some.
