E30 Oem m3 sheet metal conversion

[jburnsbmw]

Looking forward to seeing this done. Also h1c might be a bit laggy, may consider a different turbo for better drivability if its a 2.5.

Yes I am considering a different turbo. I believe but can't tell due to the numbers being worn that the turbine housing is either 16cm^2 or 18cm^2. Any recommendations on a turbo?

What are you plans for changing the A pillar and the trunk?

I may leave the A-pillars or fabricate some sheet metal pieces. The trunk is most likely going to be fiber glass.

Why not go with the M3 front bumper to complete the look?

Like Nando said I'm curious to see how the late model will look. I plan on making a nice splitter. The rear bumper is going to be m3 style with out exhaust cutout. Side exit exhaust. If I don't like the front I will get the m3 front bumper.

Personal opinion. I love the way normal E30 trunks look with M3 panels...or maybe I'm thinking of the M3 vert. Either way, I think they look better without a spoiler too. Awesome project, can't wait to see where it goes.

The c-pillar was around $300 but it's the shipping is what gets you. Acm-ab.se is the site . Total for rear bumper, c-pillar and strip that runs along roof was $1457 shipped.
I was mistaken last I spoke about the price of $1100.
Parts ETA is in March.
