He clearly made the whole thing up and photoshopped all the pics. The original vid was probably something he found on youtube or something of a garage on fire. ---

His garage caught on fire. Lost lots of parts, tools, other garage stuffs. Because Mike is a true car (bmw and E28) enthusiast, he is rebuilding it.

I joke around about setting my car on fire a couple times a week. I made that joke actually in my build thread on here or in the stance trance thread lol. he made a joke about it, then unfortunately it actually happened. He is extremely well known and hated by some in the care scene. It was preventative. call it what you want. I think it was someone else that deleted that thread anyways to reduce the drama/hate/bullshit about the incident. ---

Why does he want to go through with rebuilding same one again? I thought that was the end of it and he didn’t enjoy driving it anymore as it was barely drivable last I heard. Not to mention the “sketchyness” of the loss Actually doesn’t seem like the car should be structurally safe after that either. ---

I was very drivable. maybe a little uncomfortable lol. The car is very iconic in the “stance” scene. and when someone has been through so much with one car, its hard to just give up on it. plus, he does have the means, ability and creativity to create something new from what happened. although he wont tell anyone what he is planning ---

Wouldn’t the car have nothing in it now other than weakened metal frame? No wiring, no suspension, no driveline, no windows? This is literally a chassis up build for a guy that’s short on money and or tools. I’m sure the new wheels on it won’t be cheap either as he won’t cheap out on that. I dont get it. Edit: he started building another 5 too didn’t he?? ---

The wiring was all hand done originally, it already had no windows and the windshield was plexi. As for wheels, well they certainly wont be cheap hahaha. wheels never are. He has a really qualified fab guy that is helping him with the rebuild [http://www.stanceworks.com/2010/11/american-history-the-dying-art-of-fabrication/](http://www.stanceworks.com/2010/11/american-history-the-dying-art-of-fabrication/) [http://www.stanceworks.com/2011/02/american-history-part-2-inspiration/](http://www.stanceworks.com/2011/02/american-history-part-2-inspiration/) [http://www.stanceworks.com/2011/03/tonight/](http://www.stanceworks.com/2011/03/tonight/) ---
