    it's a restoration so it don't look very good at the moment but here's some pics. i know you all love pics (y)

    this is just a view of the exterior

    this one's a front view, i got headlights in after i took the pics.

    here's the rear view, not much to say. there's some rust

    here's the engine, it's the original 250 l6. still runs and drives

    the front seat, it's seen better days
    [​IMG]

    the back seat is suprisingly good compared to the front seat. probably because it was out of the sun, the fuzzy cover used to be blue but is faded
    [​IMG]

    the steering wheel is taped up to avoid fibreglass like slivers caused from sun damage, and the glove box latch don't work. i got a replacement but dobn't knowhow to take this one off

    and this one's inside the trunk, i got chrome racing wheels at the front and the ones in the back are the stock rims

    I have to admit.......for sitting in a field in Canada for 20 hyears...it doesn't look too bad.

    Before you worry about any of the cosmetics....get it running and driving first.

    i wish i was closer too, not a lot of maverick owners around here. it's gonna be hard to find parts without going a distance for them. but it'll be worth the effort
