I need a winter beater. The SVT hates snow even more than I do. Hopefully it will be in somewhat decent shape. I hope to swap in a Mazda B6T after I am finished fixing the SVT and swaping a 351W into my RX7. I guess we will see...ARRRGH!!! Fifteen men on a dead man's chest... Maverick Machineworks is open for business!! Tell me what you need and I can make it!

I think we finalized everything in Julyish. Then again, our motivation was to teach me to drive stick on dry ground FIRST then on snow. Kim 1995 Contour GL Needs less "needs more"

Spent last summer homeless, just for fun (literally slept in his old Eagle Summit wagon and showered at work, lol), currently has his belongings spread among three of my friends' apartments and will travel half the country on a whim in one weekend with nothing but a stick of deodorant. I've no doubt he'll think up something wackier after one year of houseboat life. Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX
