    Greetings everyone.
    My name is Hans, a 20 year old guy from Norway.
    I bought a car today, and it had to be a Maverick. It is in a lousy, or rather disrespectfull shape so I will do my best to give it a makeover it deserves.

    But, as my experience with cars is not the greatest I will most possibly ask you guys for some help.
    If you can't wait to see the car: http://www.finn.no/finn/car/object?finnkode=15196618&sid=xz10cabGhzw8498031&WT.svl=Bilde
    Note that this is the dude I bought it from, so no contact can be made to me from this article. As you see it has some nasty rust on the trunk and a tired paintjob. I will see if I can get some more pictures tomorrow, all thought it might not be so much to look at right now.

    This site popped up pretty quick in my search for good places to look for help regarding old Mavericks, and I hope, but somewhat doubt, that I can be as big a resource as you might be for me.

    Untill then, I'll see you around the bend.
    Hans

    :Welcome:
    Så litt på den annonsen selv (Søker gjennom både Finn og autodb etter Maverick/Comet annonser ganske ofte:p), ser ut som tidligere eier kjøpte bilen på 80-tallet en gang? Tenker da på dør- og setetrekk :p
    Fint å se at flere fra Norge og omegn finner fram til dette forumet :)

    Thank you all for a great welcome.

    No, but considering the car it does not come as a surprise someone wanted to import it sometime long ago.
