Today marks one year from the day I towed my Marauder home after purchase!
I put about 7,000 miles on the car this season and it is parked for the winter now. She now has 157,000 miles
Things I did my first year of ownership:
Changed all fluids, spark plugs, fuel filter, trans filter, added trans pan with drain plug.
Full detail, including under hood and headlight restoration.
Then I had a noise in front which turned out to be a wheel bearing so I replaced both fronts.
Once I put a few miles on it I figured it was safe to mod so I added a Marty tune and had some Aero mufflers put on.
I have also bought, but not installed: Big brake brackets and stainless lines from TCE. Real autometer guages to replace the fake factory oil and matching volts guage.
Hoping to install these parts as well as a few more mods this spring. Thinking 4.30's asap.
Overall owning a Marauder has been everything I hoped it would be! Heres to many more years!
