Something different

A jeep grand cherokee for now lol

Nice what you drive??

[coolman603]

Hey I'm from Saskatoon. Cool to see someone that is close to home. Good luck on your project. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Or you could just daily drive this and slam that e28 that seems to be sitting in your yard unloved...

I bought the e28 for $500 Canadian about 7 years ago, and its had a rough rough life before I picked it up. it was in a row of cars in line to be shredded, literally.

Driveshaft is missing, car won't stay running if I release the key, no idea if the tranny is any good (no driveshaft, no gears ) both front fenders were held on by 2 bolts on top on each side and duct tape on the bottom, passenger side tail light is fubar'd and will not bolt back into place, windshield is more cracks than glass, all in all the perfect example what a $500 BMW at a scrapyard would get you





BUT, I like a challenge (obviously, intrepid) so this thing is my next project, the intrepid is a focus right now because it is a DD and I want it to stand out and be different, but since you asked so nicely, I will give you some pictures of my 528e



















And yes, that is also an IROC sitting in the grass behind the BMW

Well, I didn't get much accomplished this past weekend on the car. I did get a leaky oil cooler line fixed and swapped the front differential fluid for some fresh and new stuff. But I did get my shop a little closer to being ready, and I got a couple pics of my car to show you where I am at with it thus far.

Here is basically what the car looks like now


In need of a paint job in the future. And if you look closely you can see the roof of my one parts car, my 83 528e and my 1980 caprice classic landaux sport

and this is what my shop looked like:


and after a few hours of cleaning and organizing, this is where I am at with it:

And it would look pretty sick wrapped on the Mille's

Since I have a couple parts cars I may hack up a set of springs for a temporary fix, my struts are shot as it is...

225/45 would be nice, but maybe a 40 if you plan to be really low.

225/40's on an 18x8

Not too much stretch.

[DjGreggieP]

On an 18x8 what tire width would be a tad bit of stretch? Factory for a 300M special is 245/45 so would 235/45 be about right?

[DjGreggieP]

Good luck. I wouldn't touch an Intrepid with someone else's wallet, but if you can make it work, then godspeed.

Well.... if I were to total the money I have into the car (long LONG story to why i do, short version 22yrs old, no credit) I can easily guesstimate at being around the $20k mark. for a car with 269,000kms on it and is worth $1500 max.

I am okay with continuing putting more money into it.


Current mods installed include:
300M Special front and rear sway-bars and upgraded end-links
3.5HO engine from Chrysler 300M
Custom Exhaust
No A/C
ES front bumper(with factory fog lights)
Chrome window switches and door locks
300M gauge cluster

Still have a whole bunch of stuff planned for it yet too

I have to admit I did get a little rice when I first got the car. But now I am wanting to make something unique and different and I thought about bags, but I wanna run static

[DjGreggieP]

Old 2.7 was rated at 200hp and 190ft-lbs. New 3.5HO puts me at 253hp and 255ft-lbs. Already had existing custom exhaust, as well as I went for the A/C delete (damn cold in Canada anyways) so that gave me some power.

Not sure how to post videos yet but I do have it running thru a canister exhaust (borla spitfire, about 3 years old now tho) and it at least doesn't sound tin like and I have plans for a new exhaust set up later

[rice4life]

Wow, those look really classy!

Yeah, ive seen a bright red one, it looked tacky(and the driver was an asshole)

Im glad its not going to have altezza style tail lights, a dangling canister exhaust, and giant chrome rims. Ive seen too many like that

How many ponies does this new engine put out?

[DjGreggieP]

True. Tho this latest engine certainly makes it move a lot nicer.

Thinking of a set of these for housings. Just going to swap / snag the HIDs from my truck
