hi...just checking to see if anybody might know where i might find an E36 body/interior for my project car?...missing or blown engines are just fine...just need solid body & interior got a big project in mind but need the "donor"
find a 93 318 or 325... then start from there... get it in mint condish with work needed on the engine... it will take time to find but search ebay/autotrader
find an M with bad paint, light body damage, so u can use the chassis, then use the body pannels from another car

why dont you find an E30 and put it in that? you would destroy all....except for maybe a 2002 with the same setup lol

well...im still looking ...im thinking i might have to go with the 318i body since they seem to be cheapest...just cant seem to find one with black interior since thats my favorite...but i might be being too picky too. lol ghead
well if u want performance you will have to work on the suspension cause the M motor will wieght more than the 1.8. and the 1.8 suspension isnt up to par with a true M

the m3 engine/supercharger set-up i bought also comes with the full m3 suspension...shocks & lowering springs...& the guy has the m3 rear differential to swap also....so that should work right?..if i get the 318 or 325 donor?
just try finding a m3 shell. cause unless you have the m3 lower and upper control arms that have the M badging stamped on them its not really worth it
that and the fact that the control arm are thicker. M3 chasis pull the motor. price should not be an issue!!!
yes indeedy, some really jacked up stuff happened to the chassis of my 325, the connections from the cross member and the diff ripped a whole right through the chassis.... the chassis for the e36 M3's are slightly modified...
here's one... make the offer.. call these guys up, i dont know if you're interested in buying this.. really nice color though
