    Thankfully there wasn’t any in the car! The photos are after I stripped the interior.

    Lol I have had tons of cars with mice/rats and I have pulled down headliners before and had them fall on me. I’ll take a rodent free one for once lol.

    Just about finished my front disc conversion. Passenger side took roughly a few hours over a few days. Driver side took 20 min in one go. Now for new M/S and prop valve install. Had celebratory drink.

    Installed new wheels and tires on the Maverick today. Been wanting to upgrade from the stock 14” with 205/70-14 tires and wheels for sometime. 57CDEBB1-D438-4BB0-AB0D-1BA7A0B10EC0.jpeg F515A224-F08C-4952-899B-8D1306916677.jpeg

    Those brakes look real nice. Was it a five lug to begin with?

    Set up an appointment for a headliner today. The cost will be $750 for parts and labor, including changing out the supplied rubber window gaskets. Price reflects this is Northern California and it's 2021 and the work will be done by Old People at a long-established shop. This is the "before" picture, I'll post the update after the work is done in February.

    Thanks. Looks better in picture than in person, the seats are disintegrating at the seams.
