Depends on you though. There are tons of chassis out there, some that are more classic/desirable and would probably work better. For a fraction of the price that you would spend to build that you can buy from a factory a good amount of cars that are already very well put together. Also if your worried about the rear suspension why don't you just start with a regular e36?
Do you have a reason for really wanting to build the compact in this way? The beauty of the ti is the simplicity, practicality and somewhat "fun" performance all for a relatively low price.
That being said if you have the resources (a lot..), and the time (TONS of time), patience, drive, creativity to build a unique compact that you may love, but some may not, and know that you probably won't get a cent back for it. Well then good luck I say! I personally find it fun to see what other people can come up with.
