    Building my self a E30 truck

    So im starting with a unconventional 1987 325i 4 door.


    In the last 2 days I have chop the rear section of the E30 and found my donor rear cab section. I spent the better part of 2 hours finding and cutting off the cab




    I thought I was going to go with a ford ranger but went walking around with my template i found a chevy S10 that looks almost perfect!

    I had to remove the bed to get to the lower cut

    So more cutting and let the welding begin.

        Kewl ... how much longer WB is the 4 dr than the 2 dr cpe?

        I saw another here with a ranger rear section ... it's kick ass. I dig them & will be watching for progress.

          The wheelbase is exactly the same. The two door is also a sedan.

                          this is either going to be full of win, or the failboat is going to set anchor.....

                          Looks like Win to me. Sub'd.
