Mystery Marvin - what will happen next?
There are numerous names I could call this car. More like, crossover/light truck. I also wanted to call him money pit Marvin after it being a Ford similar to a miata. I don't really have the time or the money to spend on a loan for a nice car. My first car was a '99 Chevy Cavalier, they don't make them anymore. It got replaced with a whole slew of cars after it's death. My first project I remember is doing a paint job on it. I used painters tape and spray paint to it!
Why I am posing here is because I want to share the progress that I made. Whatever the project maybe, I want to post pictures of the results. I think it would be a good way to use my time. Maintenance is usually not the fun part of a car, it's usually the driving and being on the road feeling no care in the world.
Every project I aspire will end up here. It's like a running dialog without the hassle. Will it be every Saturday that I will post? Nah.
Right now, my current project is to take care of the rust that it has. I hate seeing rust on cars. I guess it's one of the side effects of living in the rust belt. Oh well there's work to be done. I have watched countless videos about how to fix the rust and used this forum to research what I needed to get started with this project.
Below are pictures of my ride. Speak up if you can not see the pictures.
