Hello, new here
just saying hello because I'm new here 
I'm building a locost based on a BMW E36 318is and it's going pretty well, but I think I'm gonna need a little bit more info now the
tricky bits are comming...
So why not join a forum
I hope to share lot's of good and not so good times with all of you in the next months(years )

Welcome!
You'll attract a fair bit of attention if you successfully get BMW bits to fit... potentially the next common donor.
Have fun,
David

Take plenty of Photo's and put them in your archive on here... its got to be useful to someone.

Welcome & good luck with the project - you'll find this place a mine of useful (& sometimes useless) information.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Thanks
I'll try to take some interesting foto's when it get's a bit more intresting...
I've just finished the chassis and started stripping the donor...
The BMW318i(s) is very good for building a locost because it's a small engine with lots of potential and almost al the other parts are usefull
(only the front wheel hubs are a bit strange)
I'm also building the rear suspension with one wishbone on each side atached to tube B1... this way the rear wheel hubs fit like a glove and
there's room enough for the diff, boot and fuel tank...
So I can deffinatly recomend using a beemer

Your ideas for the rear end sound interesting enough and I for one am definately looking forward to seeing the pictures. Oh, yeah, welcome.
