so i sold my land and now have about $20k to get my maverick as i want it. going to do a video seris on the build and ill have many questions im sure. stay tuned.
For 20k I would buy a Maverick already done to my likings and enjoy driving it instead of working on it. But have fun and choose your battles wisely and spend it like it was your last dollar and make it last
That would certainly be the easy way! I would be tempted but I also like the thrill/satisfaction of doing the work so it would be a tough decision.
lol. well, half the fun for me is being able to build it and learn things along the way. just turning a wrench on this car gets me to a happy place. i love it. i want to see and feel this car improve with each upgrade and i am also a really good painter and sander, so even though it looks good now, itll look even better after a repaint. this is likely the last old car ill ever work on, so i want to experience it one more time. parts ordered so far are.... front disc kit front suspension kit grabber hood grabber scoops in the coming months..... 347 blueprint engine street fighter trans gear vendors overdrive unit/gear splitter headers alum rad electric fan new ac system magnum 500 wheels new tires carpet headliner possible upholstery color change/redo (cant decide on color) window/door seals/trunk sound deadener/heat shield mats
paint is decent right now so ill do it in a few more years. i can paint it myself so no worries there.
so far ive got in the disc brake kit, front end rebuilt parts, grabber hood and scoops, engine hoist and an array of other select tools to make things easier. going to start the rebuild this weekend and go at a decent yet, NOT stressful pace. drive train/engine is after that.
