Thank you for continuing to honor Cory and the family in the way you have. As his brother, it was really special to see the video come together. I can't wait to make it out to California to make more memories just like he would've. Love you dude 🖤

Sorry for your loss bro! Your brother sounded like a hell of a guy! What happened to the two original E30s??

Really special stuff, Mike. I lost a great friend a few years ago who was my racing buddy. We are both old, I'm 74 now, but while we were younger I helped him build a round taillight 2002 that won a BMWCCA Club Racing class national championship. We took that car to Bonneville Speedweek in 2007-8-9 to set a world's fastest BMW 2002 unofficial speed record of 131.7mph. My friend and I towed his and my fully track prepped 93 RX7 from Houston to Mosport, Mont Tremblant, Watkins Glen and every track in between for years before the Bonneville chapter. Losing him to cancer 4 years ago was the end of our adventures. He left a wife and daughter behind along with hundreds of track friends. So, I GET your project and will enjoy your celebration of your friend.

Hi BB - I recall the RX7 and the salt flats ‘02. Both awesome cars.

This helps remind me that cars are replaceable but people aren't

This will be a great project and a great tribute, surely...

Quite possibly THE BEST StanceWorks video yet. Mike you are a fantastic story teller and this build is truly the definition of 'special'. So looking forward to seeing the progress and I hope it brings you wonderful memories of your friend.

Thanks Mike. Hope you’re well!

Was not prepared for that cry today. Cory always seemed like one of the best humans ever, stoked to see his legacy live on.

As an e30 nut, I’m stoked that you are carrying on Cory’s legacy. Can’t wait to see the outcome. I know he’s looking over the project and couldn’t be more proud.

The things that connect us, the things that remind us, the things that DRIVE us....unique to each and every one of us. Thanks for sharing yours Mike!

There are lots of car channels that build cool cars. There are very few that build cool lives around cars. Looking forward to this one!

damn I knew where this was going but still cried a bit 😅 looking forward to all the builds in 2023, this channel feeds my inner builder

Love these types of builds just as much as the full custom ones. The story behind it makes it that much better.

Thanks for sharing your Cory story. Having a friend like that is a rare gift. You do him honor.

Stories like this are exactly why I’ll never by a brand new car again. Despite the financial benefits, I love a car with a story and a history all its own. Every mile and imperfection tells a tale, and especially when it elicits those great memories, you just can’t beat that connection. Keep on doing the lord’s work and hats off to Cory🤘🏻🏎️❤️

Part of me would like to say "man, that's exactly how I would built an e30" but in a vacuum... I don't know if that would happen. The reality is that my taste in modified cars was mostly formed by following you and Rusty since the beginning of Stanceworks! Thanks Mike! Keep doing this!

Cory is a guy we all want as a friend, I can safely say we’re all sorry for your loss. Looking forward to this build 👍

So awesome. Hats off to you for keeping the spirit and memory alive of your buddy and his car. I have so much respect for what your doing I will never miss a minute of any E30 content. My son amd I have an 88 E30 325i bone stock that we are working on together and we will be waiting for your next vid with bated breath. God bless and wish you and his family all the best!!! Peace from Alberta Canada.

I appreciate this a ton! I’m glad you and your son enjoy it!

I love the old beemers. So much heart and soul in these cars. They never get old. Timeless.

I can tell how much this video and project mean to you. This has to be the best Stanceworks video yet. Fantastic job Mike!

I freaking knew it after seeing the grill in the background of your last video. Really looking forward to this one! I'm in the middle of a track/restomod 325e build. Your work has been a huge inspiration on that project, can't wait to see how this turns out!

Sorry to hear you lost your best friend. 😢 I totally approve of this build to help you stay connected to Cory. Sounds like he was an awesome guy.

Wow Mike!!! This was a really special episode!! I had a very similar E30 - it was my first BMW, and I'm still fond of the experience. I'm super touched by the friendship, the comradery, and the story you're telling with Cory's life, the cars, and the touching tribute to him and his legacy!!! Well done!!! Keep at it with the build and hell yes!!! we want to see the updates on the other cars as well. Looking forward to the video of you guys bombing up the PCH to the event!!!

Didn't think it was possible for you to start a build I would be more invested in than the ferrari, but as someone who bought his first e30 20 years ago and rebuilt it with his brother and dad (she's still in the family,) I can fully relate to the emotional bonds that e30's can create. Incredible tribute to your friend, and if you guys ever cruise the e30's up to Ventura I would be stoked to meet up - keep an eye out for my white late model with surf racks! Can't wait to see where this goes, and as usual incredible content and thanks for sharing.

This was an absolute tear jerker, I’m full of excitement just for the e30 build but this is a real sentiment one.

Great episode and I am sure your buddy would smile from ear to ear about this. One hell of a tribute to him. Thanks for sharing.

RIP Cory What a great tribute! Can't wait to watch the progress. I'm sure he's watching from above and certainly approves.

This channel keeps getting better and better. My heart is swelling, thank you Mike.

To this day I still find myself browsing the internet for a 3rd gen Accord sedan simply because of your shoot on C-Hutch's car. This video shed some light on the mysterious man known as "The best damn Honda kid, period" Good luck with the build man, I'll be following along

Amazing. The times I spent with Cory definitely left an impression that he was a special dude that could light up a room with his presence and energy. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be part of something that means so much to you, and Cory's friends and family. Let's get to work!

Mike, as much as I’m drooling over the ongoing Quattro build, I totally understand how special this E30 is to you after experiencing this video. You just keep making your channel better and better, and the way you explain things to us puts us not only in your head, but in your heart. Keep up the incredible work, and we’ll keep digging your stuff as you post it!

It’s awesome what you are doing. Honoring your best friend and all. Hope to see more of the e30 content as I’m building one of my own. Have a lot more to get done on my build and I will be definitely tuning in to see these project come to life. 💯

damn dawg, this hit me hard. when a friend passes it always tears me up as i lost my best friend when he turned 18 and i still 15+ years later still feel hopeless at times. glad to see your doing this car man.

I’m not crying ... you’re crying. Such a fitting tribute for someone who sounds like everything a friend should be

Amazing tribute my guy. Life isn't all about cars but it brings some of our best friends to us. Keep it up man

As an E30 owner I'm really excited for this series. Can't wait to follow along!

really look forward to seeing how this comes out, at 8 mins in I started to feel that this was going to be a sad story. Really sorry for your loss there, but awesome that you are doing this tribute build. Looking forward to see it come to life

What a beautiful story - Thanks for sharing and putting this together - it brought on all the emotions. I didn't know Cory, but am very much looking forward to getting to know him as this build continues. May his spirit live on forever.

Dude, this car is definitely one of the most special cars out there. You godda stop underselling yourself. This project is one of the best in the world. You are doing a terrific job Mike

Brother…. The storytelling-but most importantly-the earnestness, is why you’re definitely the next Gears and Gasoline. Keep up the AMAZING work, we’re all rooting for you… matter of time.

Updates on all projects please. Would love to track your buddy’s project too. I appreciate the sentimental build. Let Corey’s memory live on for more people.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your best friend and his love for cars. I look forward to this tribute E30 build.

That’s a touching and beautiful tribute. I’d be very interested in seeing / hearing updates of all 3 E30s .

Mike, your tribute is the best way to honor your friend!🙏 Please keep us posted on your progress and that kswapped one too! Keep up the amazing work you do 🔥🤙

Nothing but love here.

Man I've said this a few times but I have to say it again, I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel almost two years ago, I love everything you've done so far and even I can feel through the screen and half the world away that this is a special project for you and I'm really excited to see the build come to fruition. Keep them coming!

What an amazing tribute! The wheels could not be better. Wow!

Man, this was really awesome. I’m so excited for this build. Corey was the first of out of the group to bring me in. Always the funniest dude are and loved and missed greatly.

This is so beautifully done. Incredible job sharing his story and the idea behind your tribute. Cannot wait to see this thing finished.

What an awesome story and tribute! Looking forward to this and the brothers getting their first taste of racing. Good luck with the project my friend

Just amazing love what your doing in memory of your best friend this brought me to tears 💕

its cool to see your honoring a friend through a build like this! I'm excited to see what comes from it!

I've been having trouble finishing my e30 project of 6 years, and I was planning on driving down to the e30 picnic this summer as well. Seeing you build a car so meaningful to you is incredibly refreshing, and is just the boost I need to get over the finish line. See you on the other side!

This hit me right in the feels. I miss Cory.

honestly the whole story and everything gives me shivers! I'm excited to see this completed and the smile on your face during the process!

Thanks for sharing this Mike. Glad to be along for the ride!

Your storytelling is on another level here. The heart and passion you recount the life of your friend is moving. What a great tribute!

What an amazing tribute mate, looking forward to the rest of the story!

You're right Mike, this is incredibly special. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the relationship you guys had, he seemed like an awesome dude. Can't wait to see you honor his legacy with this build, as long as it takes.

This video makes me want to build an E30 for Cory, too. I love this channel.

Mike, this is wholesome. For me a car has a special meaning, seeing you sharing this or a sentiment alike, feels good! My heart broke for you, and Cory’s family, but you wanting to build the Cory30 in his memory, is as perfect as it gets, and the best homage on your best friend!

Im sure Cory will be with you all the way in spirit on this project & i have no doubt you will make him proud,would be nice to get updates on the other e30's as well.

Thank you so much for sharing the backstory and idea behind this build. What a perfect tribute car to boot. Looking forward to watching whats to come!

What a fantastic story, Thankyou for sharing. I can’t wait to see the build! Good luck

What a great story, thanks for sharing Mike. Can't way to see more, I recent got my first BMW (Boston Green E36) Im so excited to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Thanks for sharing this story Mike. I lost my lifelong best friend, also named Cory, last year. It’s amazing you’re able to offer this tribute.

LOVE this build and understand the reasons behind it, really looking forward to following this series / build.

Such a beautiful celebration of Cory's life & times with you. I've never met you nor Cory, but you like I, have a passion for things automotive. It's always a pleasure whenever your next video arrives. I was saddened to hear of Corey's passing & I still think of him from time to time. I have lost a few of my close car head friends over the years (I'm 54 now) & it'll never stop hurting. Always remember the happy, funny & downright silly times and it will inspire you to keep right on until the end of one project & on through the next. Chin up old chap! Love & best wishes to you & Cory's family. Cheers. Leigh.

This one sure is special! Thanks for taking as in to this journey!

Such an awesome tribute, really appreciate you sharing this with us all. And yes to all the E30 updates through the build!

Sweet tribute build to your best bud! I can't imagine a more fitting way to celebrate the memory of a fellow E30 enthusiast than to build some E30s and drive up to the E30Picnic. I'd love to see some build updates from Byron.

As much as I enjoy watching the Ferrari build this one has me hooked for all the right reasons. Good luck and please include updates on the trio.

Looking forward to all of the upcoming videos. THANK YOU :) You are a champ.

Good stuff, looking forward to following this. I hope Cory will be looking down on this with a smile.

YÄÄS! ❤ best episode yet (and the others are great to start with) - Grass roots cars - Beloved friends’ homage - achieving unimportant but old goals like sub 2min run just because Clearly an episode that oozes of just simple car creation fun without anything pretentious about - just pure fun for the heck of it. Tree30 v.2.0 for the win. And yes, updates on the K24 swap e30 is a must. The e24? No that one’s taken.. the K30?

I’m so excited for this! Cory was an amazing guy and was always a treat to work with. His ability to “customize” a car was second to none. Cory is the reason I have my E30.

Sooooo great! I had one of those for 15 years and absolutely loved it. It had to go for an E90 and a Z3. But I will always remember. Thank you for this video!!

These episodes are so good to watch. Really special people deserve really special builds

Awesome video Mike. Looking forward to seeing how this special build finishes up.

Great tribute to your friend. Look forward to seeing the progress to the finish.

stunningly beautiful tribute to a friend. Love your videos and this one definitely tugged at the heart strings. Keep up the amazing work, Mike!

Best episode yet. You look like a great friend to have but over all of this a wonderful person. Hope this build will result in everything you want it to be. I'm pretty sure it will. Thanks for the story and I'm very sorry you lost your best friend...

You are my favorite subscription of 2022, and this episode is exactly why I am glad I subscribed. Yep, updates on all the cars. M1 also. Your content is special and worth our time.

I can dig it Mike, I like where you're coming from when doing this project. 👍

Great story and project. Thank you for sharing them.

Made me cry. Can't wait to see this series. Friendship is truly a blessing and is the driving force in my life so I totally understand.

Hi Mike, amazing video and love that you keep your friends memory alive like this. I recently lost my dad and we shared the hobby of working on old cars. I just recently bought a project vehicle to work on in his shop and I cant wait to get going. Keep up the good work!

Quite a moving story, Mike. I knew about Cory of course as a long time follower but the story you told in connection to the cars was really special. Please keep us updated on the K-24 swapped e30 and I will keep Cory in my prayers.

Amazing video Mike. I'm at a loss on what to say, all the feels came up. This is going to be an incredible meaningful build.

"Just ignore the M1..." Love it. What a great tribute to your dear friend Cory.

It looks like you put a lot of work/love into this episode. Your friend would be proud.

Stoked to see the e30 build begin!! I've been following since you were posting rusty on the r3v forums, funny to see things come full circle!

Wonderful story, Great build, Can’t wait for the next instalment !

Awesome episode and great story. Looking forward to the rest 🤙

followed your channel because of your intricate work on the ferrarri, now you will start off an e30 build with the best of intentions and because of a very special reason... this is starting to become my favorite channel. thank you for doing this, this is what i needed to continue working on my e30... you are such an inspiration man.

A tip of my hat to you. What a sweet tribute to a man who is obviously a wonderful friend that you will never forget.

My condolences on the loss of your friend ! But also excited to follow the story, & see the outcome…. GOD Bless

Great story and a lovely tribute! Looking forward to it

Love this video! There are things in life that matter more in life than our projects, and toys. This is a special build, and I look forward to watching its progress.

This truly is a special project. Looking forward to see where you go with this.

this was a great episode....very touching. look forward to seeing what you do as a tribute car...

It's great to honor your friend, I am sure he is watching u from above smiling out of joy saying what a friend you were to him, building that E30 Will keep the memories you guys had together within you alive.. Please provide More content of the E30 with the k24 swap please..
