Project E36 Compact E46 CSL GTR 1JZ Turbo Unicorn - Otherwise Known as WTF Did My Girlfriend Build?

This is not just a simple bolt on upgrade.
We took an entire E46 front cut and welded that into place, it fits like a glove!
M3 fenders were hard to find but we did it and decided to give them some more flare.
GTR hood, CSL front bumper...... plus the awesome 1st gen 1JZ which will be converted to Turbo.
We will be adding an uprated diff from a Skyline GTR, big brakes, BBS wheels.... this car will be incredible.
And to think she was going to buy a mini :D

Rear arches are a work in progress, they will get bigger and better to flow more with the front of the car, not easy when nobody has done it before unless you count those horrid bolt on pandem/rocket kits.
We are going to make this look as close to something that the chaps at BMW would make as a rare test car that was never publicly released.
If it works out I will look at building something else even more special and OEM looking, perhaps if Singer built E30s....

Anyway its her first car too, so the turbo will be small/mid size, lower boost but over time we will upgrade that as her skills improve ;-)
