So last night i was having a bit of a looksie on carsales/gumtree and came past a rig i genuinely couldnt pass up.
1993 Ford Maverick.
4.2 petrol duel fuel (125 litre gas/30 litre unleaded tanks)
This thing is absolutely mint...
1 owner, 171,000 kay and would have to be ome of the neatest patrol/Maverick's ive seen to date.
Pro's
1 owner
Low kays
Immaculate condition
Cb
Suspension upgraded
2.5 inch exhaust
Tow bar
Near new tyres
Engine A1 condition and runs perfect on gas or fuel
Cheap
Reliable
Plenty parts available
Outstanding 4wd from factory
Tinted windows
Cons
Dont like that its got 125 litre gas tank and only 30 litre fuel (not good for long high country or remote trips)
Has a tiny rust spot back left corner that hes taped up.
Cop magnet
Theif magnet
Its a Maverick/Patrol
Plans for it?
Given that i cant leave any vehicle stock i am in two minds here.
Either A: leave it grandpa spec so it doesnt attract police attention but put twin lockers and crawler gears.
Or B: do the above but also do it up to look hard and go even harder.
Soomewhere along the lines i am keen to do an ls1 conversion to it considering there is plenty of info on these set ups for these vehicles.
Anyway pics to come...pick it up Wednesday!
