.....everything went sideways and I couldn't get free this past weekend.





I recently bought another MM. This one is a 04 SB 300b with LF interior. Its got some rough spots, 208k miles, and still needs some love.

I picked it up a few weeks ago from another member #4# who saved it from the wholesale auctions at his work. It was making some horrible engine noises that turned out to be an extremely worn out set of timing chain guides.

Plans for now include fixing a couple oil leaks associated with loosening the cam covers to repair the timing chain guides. Tires and or wheels will be next, brakes, lowering, and then some form of boost.....

Thanks guys. I took it out for the maiden voyage Saturday evening past Mike Linnigs and on the way back a guy stopped me and asked if it was a MM. Told me it was a nice car and was on his way. Its nice to be back in one.

Had we not got so much rain Thursday I would have been ready for Friday at least. Someone hit my SHO in the parking lot of Walmart a week before the meet and I had to go track him down and make him call Progressive and admit fault or else they would not pay the claim. That is what I was doing while you guys were eating 300 yards from my house lol.

Yeah I picked it up from him and added it to the project list lol. This one runs and drives unlike the other in progress cars.

Mine was black delete from the factory, because Marauders only came in one color. My youngest saw it and said "its okay daddy, we can paint it black." LOL
