Greetings, all!
Very informative site you have here!
I'm picking up my father's 03 this weekend and making it my new project.
There is nothing crazy planned (yet). I need to fix some issues such as a cracked windshield, fixing the A/C, stereo, and some light rust repair. The car runs great for having so many miles (190K) and still has plenty of power. It was daily driven by my father since new back and forth to work. It also made several cross country journeys. I myself have driven the car from southern Florida back to Ohio a few years ago.
He has graciously donated the car to his gearhead son because he knows it will be taken care of a provide many more years of service.
A little about me: I'm in the performance aftermarket biz, and have had just about every type of vehicle from sport compact, to 4x4, to my current hot rod, a modified T-bucket.
I hope to get some pics of the Marauder this weekend, but for now, here's a pic of the Bucket.

I'm in Barberton, but have lived in Tallmadge and Akron. I'm originally from Toledo. That's where the car is currently.

Painesville here.
Belgrade's is top notch. But if I just want the chicken, I gotta go with Whitehouse. The sides are better at Belgrades and the service is awesome.

Welcome to the MODNESS! You should really come to Marauderville and meet the rest of us. Or at least some of us. It is a good time and you will get to see many different types of mods first hand. We might even talk about cars there too.

Welcome to the group. You do know that Akron is only a 5 hour drive from Carlisle Pa. Reserve the first weekend in June.
You will see everyone who have both made parole in our group, and those who have escaped custody.

I REALLY need to get out there one of these days. I've owed mostly Fords and I've never been there for All Fords. Shame on me!

I guess it's official! I've got the jacket the prove it.
She's rough, but completely fixable. And, she runs and drives perfectly for the high mileage.

Congratulations and Welcome! You'll find the Marauder is definitely worth restoring. You'll bond and get to know the car. It's a great experience!
