    Hello everyone:) I just recently joined andwas wondering about some ideas for my old Mav just ]got this last summer up here in Washington (La center) . Found her off the side off the road by a sale lot. I fell in love with her and took her home the next day!!! Since I have had her I have added some custom bench seats, lap belts and a new stereo system, but other then that she's stock. Straight six (200 ci). She's blue now but I have plans on painting her and putting in a new engine. And this is were I need some help.... I need some ideas on what to do (engine size,color for the car, modifications I should look into or avoid,and any other ideas you awesome people can think of!) The plan for the car is for her to by me and my dads show car when. A show roles around while I may take her to the track over the weekend. She will be my everyday car as well. ALWAYS garaged!!!! So..... as you can see.... LOTS of potential. Love to hear any ideas :D! Pic of her soon( at the shop for speakers)

    I think the best improvment on your car could be a new set of wheels. What kind of look are you going for?
