    Just bought a 73 Comet. It's pretty rusty so I have some work ahead of me. When I was 17 my first car was a 77 Maverick. Looking forward to finding good info on her.

    :Welcome:...:Handshake:

    pretty and rusty don't go in the same sentence...LOL
    are you aware that what rust you see is only about 25% of what's there and is the most expensive part to fix ?
    rust can take on a life of it's own...:bouncy:
    let's see some pics of this beast...LOL

    I know. It worries me a little. I really want to bring back my first car so I guess I have to deal with the rust. You can't find many comets or mavericks in Canada these days.

    Had a closer look today. Not as bad as I thought. Going to need some work but not horrific. I'll post pics soon.
