    The guy I bought the car off of was really in to that stereo stuff and he put a lot of stupid stuff in the the interior. Also the seats are way to low I cant even see out the front windshield.:coco:

    Ripped out all the interior! Cleaner than I expected!:) But learned that the front seats where only being held in with one bolt!:49: Well Good news is the floor pans are pretty solid!(y) New Carpet is coming and putting the original bench back in it.

    Started disassembling the front clip and cleaning the motor. Little thin in the shock towers and needs new fenders.

    Looks like typical Pennsylvania rot - very familiar with it :cry:

    Glad to see another Maverick being restored and saved - good to see you getting right into it - I'll be watching your progress

    Good Luck with your project :tiphat:
