So this week, I had new car fever cuz my Marauder was in the shop a lot lately. Today tho, I am getting new slotted and drilled rotors front and rear with ceramic pads, new headlight and turn signal housings, new pewter mercury man emblems front,rear and steering wheel, new front suspension!!!, and some really cool calipers covers in black with the Marauder in red, from https://www.calipercovers.com/ . I could not sleep all week thinking of my Marauder going away. Whew!! can sleep now, I'll just get a beater as second car ;) BTW, can stay with you guys and gals now!!!!

Congrats on the new upgrades. I had to get an alignment a few months ago and it made me nervous having someone else work on my car.
And if you like those caliper covers, wear em with pride. I've done countless things to my car I'm sure the internet would disapprove of. In the end it is your car and only you need to like your mods. Keep us updated on progress man.

Thank you so much, I have had the trolls knocking it, you really need to see them in person. I like them and have many people liking them today alone, when the wheels are spinning, they look really awesome. I have seen many things done to Marauders, and I have not blasted them, that is their love, and their ride. A corvette dude wanted to know where i got them. A true motor-head car guy really appreciates all forms of auto expression. So to all you trolls, have a great Marauder day!

Oh and by the way, she feels like a new car, solid on the road, brakes are amazing so far, just need to bed them in. It is amazing how one gets used to the suspension and then a rebuild, OMG!!!! And the new headlight and sidelight lenses look amazing, looks absolutely new!!! She is really turning heads. It's amazing when I come up side by side to a vette, challenger, mustang, all looks go to the MARAUDER!!!!!! Even got a thumbs up by the Highway Patrol today.

Should do a big brake kit instead and you'd love it even more.

I could not afford big brakes at this time, nor do I have the downtime available to me. My fronts were so warped, had to do something, until the wilwoods, this'll do.

Get a MGM or LTC as your beater. Then you'll never have to say : "....what a cramped interior and dinky trunk in this daily driver...."plus you can buy two oil filters at once, swap batteries when you need to...
