Im sure it can be done with time and money, just look at the Norris design evo.
factory quality and about the same amount of work involved.
if you can tell the roof is chopped to.

That actually looks really good. I wouldn't expect a roof chop to look good on an Evo, but the slimmed greenhouse looks hot.

wow

maybe a five lug swapped one but not a e30 m3, there fine just the way they are!

Yea - it will understeer more. You want a car to be 50/50 - stock e30s are around 53 front / 47 rear - remove much of the rear, and now you got like 60/40 :down:

well, that's the idea and my main reason for the conversion is for 60/40 weight distribution instead of 50/50... i need 60/40 for drifting, so i can just let the tail kick as often as it needs to...

as for auto-x and road racing, i'm buying another e30 so i can have 50/50 or 53/47 weight distribution.... ;)

what a GTi COULD have and SHOULD have been. hehe.

It actually does remind me of a Delta Integrale or a shortened Scirocco, and I must respect the amount of time the owner(s) put into the cars. But, the E30 M3 is such a timeless design that hacking off the boot helps nothing in terms of the design.

That salmonsilber example looks terribly out of balance with that Evo II lip IMO.

ewwww

That is german for ewww.

It may look off balance but imagine how it handles with all that weight of the rear end.

I'm really not sure. It just doesn't have that BMW look with the hatch/wagon.

Looks like the Lancia Delta Integrale fifth gear put against the m3 in their showdown.

[Bimmerista]

Reminds me too much of the Lancia Delta Integrale
