June 2019 Car of the Month: Melon

[Melon]

Beautiful build inside and out well sorted! The build log was a blast to read.

One question, and forgive me if I missed it in the build log. Is that the short or tall shift knob from condor?

Short.

A fantastic story. What a phenomenal build. Congrats on COTM, and owning such a gorgeous E30.

Wow, I just read all 37 pages. My favorite thing about this build is the paint code sticker. Gives me motivation to update my build thread.

Nice ride, melon

Congrats! Following your build thread has been a pleasure!

Thanks! It's been frustrating at times, and incredibly rewarding at others.

This car is beautiful!

Great build thread and very well deserved COTM!

Well deserved indeed!

I'm really impressed with all the work you've done. I especially love the paint color. Congrats!

Thanks! Even though the paint isn't perfect, I learned so much along the way. Considering the project started with nothing more than an idea, I'm super happy with it.

For those that havent gone to Melons build thread (and pretty much every COTM Ive chosen) I HIGHLY encourage you to see the process of how they've gotten to how they are now or when featured. Melons in particular is amazing work and insanely comical. I was going back through it again this morning, and I was laughing so much and amazed also.

Sawweeetttt! The paint and car look great, engine bay is spotless. Really nice to see someone I've followed for awhile and drawn inspiration from get rewarded with a COTM. And also, really nice to read that you're inspired by your dad, as my build has been.

June is officially Melon Month! Congrats man

Thanks, I definitely got a lot of help and inspiration from your build as well.

extreme cleanness

Congrats Melon!

There are a lot of things on your car that I typically don't like. But it all just works on your e30.

Nice job!

That Industrial Design degree at work.

Fantastic!

Last picture probably gets all the ladies.

LULZ.

No, but, I haz a lady Melon and she tolerates my bullshit.

are those seats shaved down and how do they place you vs the sport seats?

I never had OEM seats in the car. When I bought it, it had a Mustang GT (Foxbody) driver seat, and it came with a sport passenger seat, but I never tried it out before I took it out.

I did order the GTS II seats shaved down, and I fit in the car with a helmet on (just).

YESSSSS well deserved cotm!!! Great story, great build!

I hope you enjoyed watching the build, because I certainly enjoy reading about other's builds.
