    My son and I are new this fourm only on posting. Normaly there is enough advice that we havent had to post. So we would like to thank EVERYONE.

    With that said, about a year ago we bought a 73 4 door mav from a police auction. We even paid $200. Thinking this would be a cheap way for my son to have a muscle car, and learn. In the last year we have sank about 7000 ( we way overpaid for some services, and parts) My wife now cringes each and eevry time she walks by the mav on jack stands.:D But the amount my son and I have learned together is pricelss,(for everything else there is MAstercard). Now that we are FINALY in the process of fixing the interior, and exterior, My sons face is priceless, each and every time he rides in it. Something about having more power, than he needs, or for that matter even knows what to do with. But his freinds who used to tease him, because it wasnt a Mustang, or a "BETTER CAR" now eat crow as he smokes his tires, as he passes them.
    But I must admit, the "money pit" as my wife reffers to it, has had its own will. I do not belive it has gone more than 7 days without resting. LOL! But as you can well guess we have done alot to entire car. About the only "problem" left is being fixed with the intro of a new elc ingtion,(wich I was recently helped with from the fourm). With only minor rust and only a few "Bad" places left, We should be able to start posting pics soon enough. We would just like to thank everyone Yet again!!! And as for the web sites hosts, TY ! TY! TY! TY! TY!
