    Hello, guys! Greetings from brazil!

    My name is Marco and I live in Fortaleza, a 2,5 million habitants brazillian northeast city.
    I`ve bought my `79 maverick about 2 years ago. Since then I`ve been struggling to get it in good shape.
    I`m almost done now. Only trying to adjust the brakes, alignment of the doors and hood and some other minor stuff.

    Indeed, its not a OEM color. I wanted a different green, so I went to the "ink shop" and made the color mixing lots of different tones.....

    Do you guys know the car that "took" maverick`s place in brazil?
    Its called "Corcel II". It means "steed/stalion''. :rofl2:

    Thanks

    The leds are fine. They`re made by a brazilian guy called Xavier. Its plug and play. He has other models too. Take a look at his blog --> http://xavieryssis.blogspot.com.br

    Thanks guys! Good to know most people liked the color I`ve choose. I was very afraid to change the color and make it worse than before.

    I like it to. It looks cleaner than the american ones.
