Wassup Guys, Its GreggieP from Dodgeintrepid.net and today I bring you Some updated pictures and info of my current project.

As you all know my 2.7l and I had a falling out and some piece of my rotating assembly decided that it no longer wanted to be apart of the engine so it said 'That's it I am OUTTA HERE' meanwhile the rest of the engine said 'meh' and kept on working, but unfortunately it consumes more oil than Mcdonalds Deep Fryer now so it had to be parked.

Anyways, I purchased a 2000 Chrysler 300M from SGI Auction for $458 and I have NOW finally started to strip it down for various parts including the mecca 3.5l High Output engine.

Now along the way I had debated about fixing the 300M and as of late I was glad I chose not too.

Anyways, on to some pictures!!

I have 300M Gauges installed now



And I had a Leather Auto Stick bezel for Install



As well as OTIS (Someone let me know if I am wrong with this), complete with HomeLink and Auto-Dimming Mirror and Lit Vanity Mirrors





And Chrome Switches!!



Now the 300M had put up a decent fight for sure, But in the end I have had my way and gotten quite a bit disassembled from it

Roughly where it began



Come on...



Little more...



Haha!! I am winning!!!




This is where I am at from working on it on my days off and when the weather cooperates.

And this is what the lower rad support looks like by the way...



I would say it is a little bit out.


Anyway, that where I am at folks, give me your feedback and let me know what you think!! :D

We are currently cold and snowy here!! Its getting done Tuesday at work and after work I am doing a free undercoating and an extensive cleaning before I head for home all in preparation for storage this coming Wednesday.

Then all I need to pick up over winter is my exhaust parts, the front and rear camber kits, tires for my 18's and then get an alignment done in the spring with the 18's mounted.

Yup, that much snow so I am going to use father in laws trailer to bring her into town and take her home. Its a 50 / 50 shot tho. I jacked the headlight bulbs from her for the truck, and I don't feel like swapping bulbs back and forth and back and forth. Once she gets stored she won't need bulbs anyways so I can just order my HID bulbs and new high-beam bulbs over winter and hopefully pic up a set of new housings as well.

This will be her first winter in actual 'storage' lol, last year she was waiting on an engine transplant, year before she got snowed in and we couldn't move her till spring, and before that she was my daily. She is turning 14 years old and I thought I would treat her to a nice indoor storage to go along with all her other goodies she has received these past few months lol

Got a few after shots, but nothing has settled yet, so the rear still looks 4x4. She rides a whole lot differently now tho. I can't wait to bring her out in the spring with the new rims and tires and upgraded brakes all around as well.

Started her up on Jan. 1st as a 'welcome to the new year'

One of her christmas presents sould be ordered soon, Just have a tiny bit to pay off on my account at work and then I can get a few parts ordered up. Hopefully get a credit card and I can start to order other little things

Its actually sitting 1.2 inches lower than my factory springs, looks high, but I did replace the struts and lower isolator pads at the same time.

I may take her out this next month for a drive and a wash in in town. She looks a little lower now that she has been sitting for a couple months.
