Amateurs & Experts Challenged:
Build the world’s most advanced cars +
Compete for top SEMA’s honors +
Raise money to benefit charity
First Challenge. Honest Assembly’s first challenge was given by CRC Industries to a team of students from Colorado. The team had to build a SEMA ready E30 M3 in less than one year in a home garage and raise awareness for the Morgan Adams Foundation, a children’s cancer charity.
The TEAm & Challenge
The E30 M3: HA.3
Each build starts with the goal of crafting a modern classic with a familiar reverence to history and a fresh approach to the particular model. A successful final product is one that reaches a new level of fit, finish, design, or mechanical ingenuity without being derivative. This level of excellence is a direct result of pairing enthusiasts’ fresh ideas with the industry’s best experts.
In 11 months the team built an E30 M3 dressed for the street with a ground breaking drivetrain and chassis beneath for SEMA. After SEMA an additional seven months were spent refining the car by a group of the mentors and 3 of the students. The final product is known as the HA.3
