Fenders are all cut for the sidemarkers, pretty much the entire passenger side is ready for paint, planning on shooting out the removable parts soon, (door handle, mirrors, door mouldings, lip etc.) ebp looks soo good in the container! love it!

very nice find. I saw on craigslist not too long ago a guy wanting to trade a ebp em1 for a eg hatch with a swap. I have an eg hatch with a 00si in it and almost straight out traded him for it. only thing was his needed a timing belt and more miles, mine had all major fixes done like waterpump, timing belt, head gasket, valve cover gasket and only 75K miles. Man I wish I would've traded him. yeah his needed some work but man, it's an em1 we're talking about. still kicking myself in the ass for passing that up. probably could've talked him into swapping shells. that was the only thing holding me back was my motor was in better shape.
keep us posted with your updates. looks like a great project

Thanks, just picked it up, its an 04 F5 Sno Pro. Clutched, canned, jetted.. Thing rips ass, put 150 miles on it in the last 3 days!



I can cut the decal for you, shipped for like 6 bucks if that works?

The EM1 will be done soon I hope, I hate driving around my lifted 98 V8 dodge ram. I get 8 mpg with the sled in the back..

8 mpg? What size tires are on your ram, sounds like you might need a regear

I run 35's in the summer, but in the winter I have 33's on the OEM chrome sport wheels.

still seems low ... even with a lot of warm up time you should be in the 11s .... i would definitley look into a regear ... factory that thing probably has 3.73 or 4.10. Not sure on older dodges but on 07ish 1500's supposedly the biggest regear avail is 4.54 ... theres a guy on pirate4x4 running them with 40s and claims 15mpg empty but thats without a speedo correction, i bet they would do wonders for your truck especially since you only run 35s

Heres an update on how shes doing. Got pretty much all of the body work done on the passenger side, its all ready for primer. Started on the drivers side tonight after I stripped all the stuff off the car. Have a ton of hand sanding to do and alot of masking to do. Started to pull that huge dent in my drivers side rear pillar. The drivers side door is pretty rough with rust. Found 2 holes in it underneath everything. One is in the front of the door where it was all bubbled, and the other hole is on the bottom at the end by the quarter panel. Holes are about dime size, going to blast it, sand it and weld some tin in there to fill the hole, then scuff it down and bodywork it so its nice and clean. Never be able to tell there was a hole there after its painted! The roof is the next project after the rust in the door... They f**ked that up. Also started plugging away at the EG. Here are the pics!












^ Ya thats chipped bondo, almost a 1/2 inch of it.
