    Hello everyone,

    My name is Lucas Gusi, I am 29 years old and I own a Maverick for a little more than a year now.

    Unfortunatelly it was expensive and not in very good conditions. So in March 5th I started a minor overhaul in the body and a complete rebuild of the engine.

    [​IMG]

    Currently the engine is completelly stripped waiting for the parts to clear the Brazilian Customs and the body is receiving some attention at the front portion because it is originally a L6 converted to V8 (already bought it like this).

    Hopefully I am not far from making the "after" for this dyno run:

    That's me at the wheel!!!

    Thanks!! (y)
