Well it has been a long time since I have droped a post, needless to say the Mav has made quite a bit of progress. Here is my origional posts, check out the pics to get an idea over what has been happening. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=2755&highlight=mavmonster http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=4010&highlight=mavmonster Well about 52 Sundays of 12 hours in the garage and this is what I have. The winter sucked as the garage is not insulated and those little heaters dont help that much, but we'd get the temp to about 40 or so and work on. Here is a list of what I have done, I probibly forgot a lot , but just to give you an idea... Carpet, Headliner, Front seat belts, Right/Left Visor, Sun visor anchor, Tachometer, Steering Wheel, Trunk Latch, Dome light bezel, Dome light bulb, Dome light lens, Package Tray, Right/Left windshield wiper blade assembly, Right/Left Fender, Front valance panel, Rear valance panel, Center Line 15” rims (x4), Tires 225 (x4), Radiator, Battery Tray, Battery hold-down clamps, Air filter, Muffler, Exhaust pipes, Distributor cap, Spark plug wires, Spark plugs, Master cylinder, Break hose (all), Break wheel cylinders (all), Break shoes (all), Hood bumpers, Carburetor (holly), Carburetor gaskets, Fuel filter, Valve cover gasket, Leaf spring (driver side), Shocks (x4), Grill, Reupholstered rear seat, Metal replacement of quarter panels, Metal replacement of floor, Metal replacement of trunk, Dash cap, Instrument cluster, “Glove box” tray, Speakers (x4), 2” Rear spacers (x2), 1” Front spacers (x2) Days and days have been spent on all the metal work and body work. Not to mention all the fights i've gone through replacing old rusted parts, those bolts dont always like to leave the car... Just wanting to give an update. I have now insured it and drive it every day. It's a blast! Also I am toying with the idea of selling it. I would like to start a new project and would need the garage room, so any opinions on how much it would be worth would be cool to hear too. 1972 2 Door Maverick, 200 I6 ~56K miles Primer Black Thanks Preston
hmm..nice rims....can you give us some info on the rims size and tires size...and where tou found 4 lug rims like that
Looking great. For a summer project, you should insulate the garage. It really dont take much money. Nothing like a warm garage to help you through those cold winters.
They are Centerline Wheels, Autodrag (if i'm rembering right) 15 inchers. Got them off ebay. The mav originally was 4 lug by 4 1/4 inch and the wheels are 4 lug by 4 1/2 so I had custom spacers made that would bolt on to the Mav and have the correct bolt pattern for for the wheels. The tires came on the rims, they are 225's . I got the wheels with the tires shipped for $300 from some place in California.
