The Apple & The Tree – Henning Burr’s W201 Mercedes 190E
Mike BurroughsAs far back as he can remember, Henning Burr has always been a Mercedes fan. His father got him hooked at an early age, and as a Mercedes mechanic, it only makes sense that Henning, too, would follow in his footsteps.

The K-Swapped Ferrari Gets a Wheel Test Fit… Or Three
Mike BurroughsThis one is a fun one… We’ve got not one, not two, but three sets of wheels to test fit on the Ferrari 308… none of which will be the final wheels for the car.

Few cars, though, have a better story than those that have been with their owner for a decade or more: the builds that have been built and built again.
If you haven’t been following along on our twice-a-week uploads to the StanceWorks YouTube channel, we’ve recently returned to the StanceWorks E36. After more than half a decade off the road, it’s in need of a serious overhaul in order to bring it back to life. We’ve gotten the E36 torn apart at the back end, but let’s just say it didn’t go smoothly. We fought a stubborn gas tank, a broken subframe mount, frozen axles, and all sorts of bushings…
StanceWorks Desktop Wallpaper – The CSF Evo
Mike BurroughsIt’s always enjoyable to revisit the StanceWorks Archives for a re-edit. This time around, the subject is the CSF Evo Time Attack build, featured earlier this year: one of the wildest Time Attack cars to feature the homepage. The car finds itself currently undergoing a slew of changes in a quest for unclaimed time at Buttonwillow’s famous 13CW layout. While we wait for the grand unveiling, we present the latest StanceWorks Desktop Wallpaper.
