    ok.. finally i get my mom to email me a coupla pics of my mav when she bought it for my sister. (which is who i got it from) my sis needed a car and when i foundout she got it. i told her "im coming down to get your car and ill give you mine" she agreed and the rest is history so it didnt cost me anything and i really love this car. i dont have a digital camera or any way to scan pics but ill get more shots and post them when i can. as i told ya'll previously it aint pretty but i like it. i wont be online much tonight but ill be back tommorrow. thanks to craig i have a manual and can now try to figure out some of the oddities. got the vacuum figured out but now working on the carb (waaaaaay too rich of a mixture) the car on a whole doesnt run too bad but you can tell it needs work. it'll be a slow slow process cause i dont have money and anything i do has to be overnight. why?? cause i have to drive it to work everyday.:D well worth it tho i think.
