    Restoring my old Marauder I bought back.

    Well due to unfortunate circumstances last year i had to have two surgeries, so I had to sell my silver birch Marauder hated to see it go! financially things didn't look so well didn't see myself ever getting another Marauder, but I did have several Marauder Parts lying around an extra engine so I found myself a 91 Lincoln Town Car and decided I would make a Hot Rod Lincoln. I bought me a 2003 Lincoln Town Car that the body was wrecked but the frame was in excellent shape that project still pending and going to happen in time. A buddy of mine who I sold the marauder to six years ago called me and asked if I would want to buy it back for a really decent price. I couldn't pass it by. unfortunately the marauder wasn't taken care of the way I take care of mine, but she's a work-in-progress here's a few pictures.one thing about it I enjoy doing it and that's what counts the most. I plan in the near future to have the front and rear bumpers repaired at a local paint and body shop here. and have some paint touch-ups done on the car as well hope to have it done by October this year. so I can take it out for cruise night if we have one with this whole covid-19 thing in Texas.20200709_151356.jpg20200709_151405.jpg20200709_151412.jpg20200709_151418.jpg

    Funny how many parking spots a car takes up one you start taking it apart.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    Thanks the seat cushion foam was still in pretty good shape. They just replaced it with the leather the lower part three hundred bucks. is what they charge. I figured that wasn't bad at all. definitely impressed with it.
