    Finally got my car back.

    I picked up my Marauder yesterday morning from the body shop from the result of this about a month ago.http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum...43&postcount=1 After looking it over & going through it with a fine tooth comb, I drove it home. It needs a couple of items to be ordered to completely calling it 100% acceptable & probably sometime next week that I'll go back to the shop to get them replaced what was needed. (will only take 30-45 minutes total in labor & will be waiting for it until its finished.) I'm just glad the Marauder turned out real nice.

    I had to really try to keep my cool throughout this episode and came close to a few times, but I persevered & things worked out in the end.

    The new front grill that was installed wasn't painted, but another one was ordered & that one will be painted to match & swapping them out, transferring the grill emblem & sending the unpainted one back. The other item was that I discovered moisture on the inside lens of the driver side corner lamp (no outside damage was visible). A new one was ordered & will swap out at the same time as the installation of the painted grill.

    Great to hear Big Guy!

    You where missed at the Wilmington show.
    “When you can’t make them see the light, make them feel the heat.”

    is to kill them, keep on killing them, until you kill the last one, then you kill his pet goat."

    How do you like the delete tips?
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
