Need to do a 4wd conversion on it.

It's just about good enough for what I do with it, but these vans did actually come AWD, which would've helped.
In any event, that's fiscally irresponsible, I have to focus on Mercedes things

Who gives a **** if it's not the right thing to do financially. Lifted 4x4 vans are the coolest **** there is when it comes to trucks.

Well, to answer your question: I do. I have to be smart about my money as I have blown through an impressive chunk of cash in my 20s and have now starting saving up for something.
Not quite sure what yet, but it feels good to have a little bit of capital.

Love those older vans especially with the LS motor!

How about saving up for investing in CANNABIS?! Made a TON already.....

I like the new drift project. It has a lot in common with my W208 CLK project at StumptownBenz: https://stumptownbenz.com/stumptown-benz-is-born/

Maybe our cars were siblings? :-)

Just returned from Gridlife at the Gingerman Raceway:

mondo

fire, Dennis?

jumph4x

Went off at Gingerman Raceway in corner 10b and slid sideways.

The mowed grass packed into the rim and touched on the enormous hot brakes, within about 30 seconds it started smoking and eventually we saw a visible flame come over the top of the fender.

mondo

i guessed it might have been a brake fire. wow, lucky not to cause more damage.

You're not boring!

Doing my best to keep it exciting, feeling inspired for the next car after hanging out and talking with the Falken team at Gridlife.

Funny thing today. Picking up parts at FCP Euro in Milford , CT and siting in the parking lot is the Dapper Drift E55. Did he move from LA to CT ?

jumph4x

Hiya,

I was never in LA to begin with. This car was completed in Oakland and shipped to CT. I drove it at the Gridlife Mid-West (Gingerman) event and our professional driver, Michael Hurczyn, drove it at the Atlanta one.

I remain in Norther California where I am wrapping up Dapper Drive V2. The car is entering livery design stages currently and will represent FCP Euro at more events in the future

tlambert

And the new Dapper is a ??? Lol
