    Wow! Thailand huh...Welcome to the center of the Maverick/Comet universe!!!
    This forum is a good place to find parts. You should aslo try Autokrafters.com.
    Right hand drive specific parts may be the only things difficult to find though.
    Good luck!!!

    :Welcome:

    Was that originally a right hand drive or has it been converted?

    That's not all that's different. Check out the valance. It looks like a factory piece, but not like any valance I've seen.

    Very interesting. Welcome! I am very curious as to what sort of engine is powering this car. Is that Honda dash fully functional? I see a strange shifter there too.

    In the fourth picture I see a radiator hose in an odd position, and look in front of the driver's side wheel. Something's odd about that. And does the brake rotor seem strange to anyone else?

    Could this be the first ever FWD Maverick?

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    could it be a brazilian mav?

    the only thing is that they don't look exactly like 71-73 stang lights to me, nor are they exactly Brazilian lights.....

    The body lines coming down on the front of the hood are different than a stock or grabber hood.

    Front valence is different. Look at the area around the signals.

    That's what I was talking about in post #4. The Brazilian valances don't look like that, do they?

    :huh: Sorry. Do you have any pictures of the engine?

    Your Maverick is something that we don't see everyday - very different - not sure what is stock or what was added :hmmm:

    Wow. Toyota engines? 1g-ge is a Supra engine, right? And 1uz-fe... Now that's something fun. Lexus LS400 32-valve DOHC, 256 hp V8.

    I would LOVE to see pictures of either of those engines installed in a Maverick. You have one very interesting car there.

    I wondered about that big controller hanging under the dash. Guess that explains it.

    I think the fact that it looks to have front disk brakes and 4 lug is pretty cool in itself. Nice little car you got there. Welcome aboard.
