Got to love little cars with V-8 engines. I had a 76 in High School. California car with 18k miles. Wish I still had that car. Nice Vega project Jeff.

I love Vegas.. would love to build one but they are hard to find out here.. or you find them and they've already been Pro-Streeted out.
Nice project!"A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

There was a mid-engined hatchback Vega back in the late 70s/early 80s that appeared in HR or CC. Was very well thought out. I'm surprised there aren't more PT themed Vegas/Astres/Monzas out there.
Cool project Jeff. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.Roger

Was this a rebuilt Vega box, or one of the newer GM boxes? If it's one of the newer ones, did it bolt in without any mods? Originally Posted by jeff s

My other car is a Vega.
