    Hi mav fans

    im reading since a few month in your forum and learning alot every day!

    so i thought i might introduce me and my ride to you.

    im a swiss guy living in Puebla Mexico and bought a 74 Maverick with 302 V8 and 4speed manual transmission a few months ago.

    it looked nice from the outside and as Craig metioned to me pics of it have already been on this forum a while ago.
    but underneath and inside it is not as nice as outside, good bit of rust and alot of glassfiber and pasta to make it look good on the outside.

    for me this is not as it should be, so the car is undergoing a complete restauration and restomod upgrades at the moment, so still a few month until i can share a foto of the newborn...

    the goal is to take the car with me back to switzerland when im going back in 1-2 years.

    so when i find out how to make a gallery i will post some pics of the car how it was and how it goies on with the restauration.
    the floorpans already have been changed completely and now work is going on to the trunk area...

    im open to any advice so feel free to contact me if you have something to add..

    greets Mike from Mexico
