IMSA inspired Vega

[bbcowboy]

Thanks Bill and Greg...I will keep the updates coming they might be slow but I will keep you posted...

[bbcowboy]

I thought I would post a comparsion picture of a stock Cosworth Vega and a highly modified Cosworth Vega..

[bbcowboy]

I thought it was about time for some updates on the project...I got to a point where I was not able to finish on my own...ended up I sending to a professional to be finished...the shop found some errors in my work and so they went in a fixed it...in some way it was a major set back but it is being done right...

They'll do a great job for you.

Since the firewall is gone, have you thought about doing 180 headers? They sound awesome!

[64G-lark]

Like your build. I always thought a LS powered Vega would be a beast.

[bbcowboy]

Not exactly 180 headers but redesigned raised up to get more ground clearance and ease of transmission removal

OH wow. That's going to be mean. Neat choice in cars, I've wondered why the smaller cars weren't more popular (Vegas, Monzas, etc..etc...)

[xsboost90]

my dad started building a wide body vega when i was a kid. Custom quarters and a small block. Had a maserati bumper on it? Eventually it got scrapped but would have been badass. Keep up the good work!

[bbcowboy]

Thanks guys...
some more work was done the floor going back in, new pedals and new dash

[avewhtboy]

that looks really nice, look like you have more foot room around the pedals, shifter console looks nice too, all business!

[Zanie]

Nice work!!

[bbcowboy]

there is a whole lot more space at the pedals for sure...

[bbcowboy]

This is were the car stands at this time...the whole front end was redone in metal....plus they found that the front end was not correct, so they realigned the front fender wells and built a new radiator support..

[avewhtboy]

Looks great the stance looks almost perfect a little high in the rear but looks like you have plenty of tire clearance to lower it. Getting closer all the time.

Nice project! The exhaust routing is really cool. Great way to address the ground clearance. How much ground clearance do you have on the front spoiler?

Keep it up!

[bbcowboy]

ground clearance should be between 4 to 5 inches...the stance will change due to the new 3 way adjustable coil overs...the back will go down and the front should go up a little
Thanks guys...(Big Red Camaro and Rick)

[medici78]

Wow, wow, wow. This is one of my favorite projects here. Keep it up!

[bbcowboy]

A custom air cleaner was made in which will seal against the hood.... and extra bracing

[bugdewde]

oooooooh....... I think I just pee'd a little.

There's a fella on Tampa (FLA) craigslist offering a Vega IMSA body kit for $2500. I wonder how well it would fit on one of my Wagons? Crazy talk.
You sir, are awesome!!!!

[bbcowboy]

Thanks...That kit would fit the front but the rear fenders would need mayor work to fit to the station wagon...
