dont know of this has ever been seen on here before but this definitely looks like a cool project it really is a retro idea sort of makes me think of the Volvo p1800 shooting brake.

That’s coo aswell though I’m not crazy about that exhaust.

Looks like one of those BMW things.  Z3 or Z4?  Never like those and not a fan of these either.

The blue one is clearly an M Coupe roof on a Miata.  I actually prefer the silver Mazda3-derived one above.

That looks far easier to make and far better than the fastbacks. What a removable hardtop shooting brake make the miata a closed car for the challenge?

Yeah the blue one definitely resembles the bmw while the silver one looks a lot more mazda.

Just get an M-Coupe. The S52-powered ones can still be had for somewhat reasonable money if you look around, and the Z3 non-M Coupes are even cheaper while still being almost as cool.

240hp, decent torque, a 5-speed manual, a LSD, and plenty of cargo room in one of the coolest-looking BMW's ever? Heck yeah.
