congrats on saving it, hopefully you can take your time and do it right. not all of us have the know how, time and place to revive one. Yes, it needs some work , but looks manageable. just make a list and do certain things at a time, not start a bunch of things and not finish them

going to take it for paint first

-tune + intake
-change all fluids
-new brakes
-going to clean up the rims, are they just chrome dipped or are they clear coated?
-fix whatever is wrong with the air suspension
-LED's

Rims are clearcoated..if funds permit and time, send them to detroit wheel for pvd coating..around$700 plus shipping and 2-4 weeks turn around. not much helps the clear, since it is clearcoat, paint cleaning products can help some, metal polish will do nothing.

When changing fluids, I would take off the crossover tube and sandblast it and paint it. it looks rough and they are obsolete. They do come up for sale here and on ebay.

That Marauder looks like Serge's car that he recently bought. Did I miss him selling his car? Either way congrats on a good project car.

these things a pretty bullet proof if you leave them N/A. I already have to many race cars that don't get driven. Just want something to drive to work.

also will be updating the stereo. Any recommendations guys?

Are you going with stock gloss black paint or maybe spruce it up and go with Tuxedo Black?

If I had a black MM and were to repaint it I'd go with the Tuxedo Black.

Here is what it looks like, Ford paint code for it is "UH"

A good set of components with an amp up front. Anything for rear fill. Maybe a small sub.
