    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Me and my uncle decided to go junkyarding this past weekend.And on our way there i saw a car traveling towards us and at first i thought it was a comet because it had a comet front end, but then i saw a canopy roof and when it got closer it wasnt a comet it was one of those VW(its either called a "thing" or "IT ) but i didn't pull out my phone fast enough to get a pic.(i'm going to ask around and see if anyone knows who owns the car)

    Then when we got to the Ecology Pull-a-part in fontana, i found a 72 grabber but as usual all the good parts were taken.(hood,spoiler,seats)I did manage to get a rear valence and another sport mirror.


    Also for some reason Californians love sunroofs this is the fifth mav I've seen in cali with a sunroof.:huh:

    That Grabber was posted a couple of weeks ago.:huh:

    I had to pull the steering column to get at the clutch/brake pedals. :)

    I just did the junkyard tours this past week. Very few Maverick/Comets out there at the moment in SoCal.

    I'm gonna ask the dumb question, How did you confuse a THING with a COMET?

    BTW, things rock
