I do feel very qualified to comment on this as I have completed
many restorations on very different types of vehicles. A better way to do this would be to skip the body mods and find a good E30 'IS' 6 cyl / manual trans car. The "IS" cars already have the sport suspension, sport seats, lower rear gearing usually with posi-trak and the 6cyl cars respond really well to the typical bolt on / chip tuning mods.
The problem is with this particular model is finding all the stuff to make it a clone and the work and $$$ that goes with it.
M/O is the 6 cyl IS car is a much cheaper choice and a really good platform to start with and in all honesty, when modded will probably out-perform a M3
