    Hi. I,m from Brazil. I love this car and I want to show my Maverick to receive some sugestions to make it better. It's a 4 cil. 2.3 turbocharged (soft preparation: our gas is so expensive!). Comments are welcome. Thanks.

    Pics

    I'll put some new pics soon. Have to decrease size. Today i'm installing instruments on interior. Probably i'll put some stripes like the original model "GT" from here. The color is the same of Rogan's Cuda 70.

    4 cil. was produced from 75 to 80 (i think). The production of Mavericks in Brazil began in 1973, with the option to 8cil (302) or 6cil (in line) from Willis(very bad engine). In 75 the production of 4 cil. began, and this engine was used until 86 in many cars (Ford Pinto, Sierra, Merkur, Mustang, etc), and exported to many countries (including USA) but never turbocharged here in Brazil (it was turbocharged originally in Argentina in Ford Sierra). I adapted many parts (what a work!). I'm thinking about to convert to use etanol. About the pictures, when I go home (I'm working in a ER now) I promess I'll put in the gallery, including some of the restoration. Stefan, thank you for the space.
