Hello everyone.
I have been reconmended here by locostbuilders:)
I have a 1992 k reg 325 e36 to use as a doner vehicle,
Thinking of using the book plans?
I have done some rough measuring

all are approx measurments
engine length to front pully 28" (710mm)
engine overall height base of sump to top of rocker 25" (635mm)
existing engine mount body centres 26 1/2" (675mm)
gearbox length overall 22" (560mm)
bell housing diameter 14" (350mm)
front of bell housing to centre of gear change 28" (710mm)
wheel base 108" (2740mm)

Has anyone got any suggestions as to chassis dimensions, I have been looking at the Haynes roadster & Mcsorley 7+442?
Front hubs dont look like a problem
should be able to use prop rear diff and drive shafts but think it will need rear hubs to be made

Chris G's BIL has a Roadster on the road with the 6-pot BMW engine installed.
I saw it last week at the Yorkshire meet, it's very impressive :)
