    Hi, uk newbie here, just bought a 75 2 door from CA and waiting for it to arrive. No doubt I will have a few questions, I will try not to repeat previous ones. My main questions will concern parts supplies I expect, as I know these are relatively simple cars, but I 'm not sure what and where regarding parts, especially relative to the compatibility with Mustang parts....oh , and interior parts $_57 (7).JPG $_57 (7).JPG $_57 (7).JPG

    I agree , it is dropped a little too much, he cut the coils but says it rides fine, but we have bad roads in UK, so I will have to raise it a little. I like a large variety of cars, Studebakers being my first choice, but I can no longer afford one of those, I miss my old Silverhawk. I also have a corvair, which has turned into a long term project, so the maverick was bought as a cheap fun car, which is, hopefully solid and can be used without having to do any urgent resto work, although I must do something with the interior, and protect the underside from our climate
