It’s the best pic I could get as I was fighting off a Black Lab that desperately wanted that window seat.
I’ve seen this thing online before somewhere. It’s covered in Bondo and Primer. And the driver side front wing is gone too.
I like it and hate it all at once.
Odd, that..

That looks like one belonging to a buddy in Central IL, his is homegrown turbocharged (read: Menards Special downpipe) and is awesome. His is Gray Primer with spots of Something-BMW-That-Looks-Kinda-Like-Gray.

Man.. I have two friends that are Ex-Pat Brits and one CRAZY Aussie Ex-Pat. Really, they’re all freaking nuts.
I’ve started using their terms, it’s easier than being ridiculed.. The front “wing” is a Fender.

This is a long way from Central Il. It’s at a Pep Boys in Broadview. I’m betting it’s a wrench monkey there.

It’s just uncanny how similar this beemer is to his.

Don’t go knocking the Menards DP.
Turbo Mopar guys invented the “G valve” for boost control.
Really, after that ZF Given Datsun happened anything goes.
If that Bimmer is still there tomorrow I’ll try for an interview.

Menards Specials were a big part of college for a group of us, in fact our FSAE car one year featured a Menards Special Intake and finished in the top half of the field at Michigan, a huge achievement for my school. If it wasn’t for Menards half our vehicles wouldn’t have worked.

I’d say nice catch but my other post reveals more of the Crusty Beast known as “Butchie”.

Hey, Butchie looks like crap and runs like a champ.
The interior is a much better place to be though.

That was serious, not being condescending haha. I have a soft spot for the 9th gens.

I didn’t take it wrong. No worries.
I’m the second owner of “Butchie” and it will get a Resto at some point.
Aside from Fox body cars and a few F trucks I’m actually a Chevy guy.

Always been a Chevy guy, but my dad bought his, now my(?) 11th-gen F-150 new when I was in second grade. The only issue we’ve ever had with it was this past November when I lost overdrive on I-40 at 189k miles. Showed me that Ford can make a solid truck too haha
