    Finally picked up the 75 mav. Not bad for 300 bucks. The comet has smoother door functions and better fenders. So I see some part swapping comming on. This one has a good floor. Small hole in pass side that the guy fixed. Nice relieve from the rusty thing I call a 73 comet. LOL.

    Owner was driving it before he removed engine. Replaced rear end (just center piece??) and new front end (I'm sure new/used), he raised it a bit too, which is cool. Flat tires in rear make it look really raised. LOL.

    I got lots of stuff extra with it, windshield, hood, alternator, starter, some other stuff in trunk, not sure gotta go through it all.

    Might be having a sale thread here soon for hood and engine components.

    no rust to speak of really, which is nice. the doors are not very smooth and windows fall off track, so I'll end up replacing those with the comet, they are nice and smooth and windows work. one fender is a bit crinkled, so i'll use a fender off the comet (those are nice fenders on the comet). No notice of frame issues, underside looks pretty solid for its age.
