    Well after years of wanting to build/restore an old car I chose the Maverick (still not sure why lol). I am the proud owner of a 1977 302 c4 maverick. The PO had made mention that he took great care of it, I am starting to think that our definitions of great care are entirely different..... I'll post some pics up when I get home (I'm on duty today). Only a couple of issues thus far with rust being the biggest followed shortly by my power steering pump puking its guys all over my driveway and my heater fan not working when set to cabin. It's an AC car and it blows cool (AC is not hooked up) out the vents when set to vent and blows warm ish when set to defrost. But nothing when set to cabin (I'm thinking resistor pack) And my last question is this, is it worth trying to keep these things original like it is an older car or can I for the most part go to town with out too much a loss in value? Thanks everybody in advance.
