Congrats! My favorite thing about this whole build is the custom sidemarker brackets.

AWESOME build thread! I love the stance. You put alot of time into this car and it tells. Congrats on being car of the month.

How'd I miss this one? It's one hell of a build. Looks great too, and I'm not a fan of red in general. Bravo for doing a 24V swap and keeping AC and PS, nice wheels too.

Nice work on the the slicktop conversion. That's something I hope to tackle in the future when I restore my car, but the level of disassembly required to do it really sucks. My roof doesn't show as much rust as yours did, but I have no doubts that it looks terrible with the headliner out.

Wow I love this e30! Nice work!

Looks like you have a custom speaker box in your rear package tray. I have something similar.

Gonna have to add that build thread to my to-read list. Looks great!

Amazing car! I don't know how I missed your build thread, but I just cruised through it and man you did a great job! Kudos on COTM!

Woot, congrats Ryan!! I know how much time and effort was put into this. It still astonishes me how quickly you got it done.

Awesome car - well deserved!

Thanks 2mAn and everyone. It was a fun project and it will be hard to top.

[Bill Brown]

Wow. Amazing car and truly inspirational work. Incredible.

Somehow I had missed this thread in my initial deep drive into the forum; just finished reading the whole thing, including bookmarks for the way you painted trim and the leather shop in Austin. Awesome.

Those rear seats look incredible. If I was a midget I'd wanna sleep there for sure.

Not much of an s54 fan either but I love this car.

Congrats! Super cool build, a fantastic result, and I really like that you got the kids involved!
