They say that the B5 and B5M use 90% the same parts so i wonder if it will be possible to convert one to the other without the need for buying two cars?
From what I've seen I don't think that's a good solution as too many parts are changed between the two. Chassis, gearbox, battery clamp, rear tower, front tower and wishbones - possibly as I'm not clear if the gullwing arms and tower are in the B5M kit? Plus extra bodyshell and no doubt some bits I've missed will all add up to half a kit in cash terms. and it's not a 5 minute job to switch between them either.
