EDIT: Title should read E30 to M3 wheel flares...
My 17 y/o son is off the jacked up F150 truck idea and has seen the light with my 1991 E30, but he want's an E30 M3. Real E30 M3's are out of our price range, but buying an 87-91 E30 to fix up over time and convert the E30 fenders to M3 fenders is an idea I'm bouncing around.
We don't want to build a full blown replica (too much time and money), but just want the flared fenders with wider wheels, new paint, a clean interior with aftermarket seats, etc. The front fenders and side skirts bolt IIRC, but the rear fenders will need to be grafted on.
What is the downside to doing this project? How hard/easy would it be to graft the rear M3 fenders on the E30? Remember, we are not looking for a show car, but a car he and I can work on together and make into a cool little street car for his senior year.
Pics for inspiration.
