    Oh i forgot a funny story on the way home we got pulled over in the maverick He said he pulled us over for weaving. Thought we were drinking. The tags were wrong no seat belts exhaust was very loud but he let us go with nothing not even a warning he was a nice cop.

    Well we told him we had just bought the car and we were weaving because the tires were flat.

    Yeah they also included brand new 14inch tires with original rims. the tires still have the prickly things on them that they included and the tires are pretty new that are on it already. We told the cop that he started laughing he said you bought some tires and got the car free.

    Well we pulled the vinyl top today and there are probably 30 little holes on the roof whats the best way to fill them they aint that bad just fiberglass them? Thats what we were planning on doing. We are gonna paint the top like mean_mavericks roof. I took some more pictures for yall today i will upload them now.

    Also we got it running good tightened the exhaust it had a leak put in a new alternator This was the first "parts car" thats ever ran and been able to drive home. You should have seen the look on their face when we started the car in 30 minutes and they hadnt got it running in 1 year.:biglaugh: Well heres some pictures enjoy.

    All the quarters and stuff are rusted out bad but could be replaced cowls are good floor pans are very good but the torque box is rusted on one side will sell for $900 its drum brakes. Runs good strong little 250 six cylinder. No rust on the doors or anywhere. Had a rough vinyl top which left probably 25 little holes it would make a good restoration project.

    Good to see I'm not the only 14 year old with a Mav. I want another for a daily but Ma's kinda holding us down because we have no parking space left. lol
