Oh, that's beautiful.  I wonder how well it's done.

It would be a screamer!

Those axles are known for breaking with stock power.  :o

Might need an axle swap for something like a first generation Rx-7, postal Jeep or something. Even that will need narrowed.

It's now a 6 spd though... so maybe they swapped out the internals? Someone posted in the comments asking about the rear end upgrade, but no comment from the seller yet.

Yeah, but I'm wondering if the rear end has new internals... if not then  :banghead:  Doing all this work, and not doing that would be nuts... get a custom 9" built for it & you're set.

The electric A is cool. They have some other neat stuff too like the Standard 8 (no external trunk lid) and that Austin A40 van.

Hell no, was this at the Ray Charles driving school for the blind?!?!??! I would love an E30 M3, but this seems like a sketchy buy and I wouldn't trust all the repair also the unit is not factory anymore now is it??

Mechanical stuff you can always fix, but if the frame gets a little bit of a twist that vehicle will never drive 'right'. At worst will be trying to kill you the whole time
