    Wow, that's awful. Looks like the welding was done by a mud dauber. I think if that were mine I would just crush it.

    I watched the next video on the marauder, it flooded in the hurricane. He drained the crankcase right onto the ground.

    I was trying to figure out if it was in the states or not. If it wasn't, then I could see some of the corners cut with limited access and availability to things.

    Gross.
    Looks like his friend was welding by braille.
    Gotta love those castle nut spacers on the manifold bolt though.

    I saw those castle nuts too. Lol

    In all seriousness, I appreciate the guys passion. He just doesn’t have either the money or wherewithal to execute anything but the car itself.

    " You have to fabricate every single part....
    There's No tune in it....
    Its gonna run pretty bad....
    When you stomp on it, it completely cuts out....
    It doesn't go over 3,000 rpm....
    You don't get any boost, anything like that..."


    Other than that she runs great!

    Ya Mahn .... brought to you by Kool Kustom Kars!.....top notch Kwality!


    I love the exposed/non filtered Cobra MAF clamped directly to the turbo and the Tractor Pull exhaust....LMAO.....
    I've seen stolen, wrecked then stripped cars that look better than that POS.
