I doubt it. The outer sheet metal is different between the Vega and the Monza.
The rear edge of the fenders and the front edge of the doors a different, too.
So, even if the fenders bolt up, their would be an ugly transition to the doors and probably a weird gap.

If you are talking about an early front on the TC, it would look a lot like a little Camaro. You will have to find one and take some measurements, then could always modify it and make it fit. If you can weld, anything is possible.

I'm selling my 1979 Chevy Monza (with a Vega front clip)
This was going to be a pro street project but funding and time stopped me

The motor in it is as Buick 3.8L (231)
-needs a head gasket

Tranny is a 5sp
-pops out of 4th
-is going to need a clutch soon

Interior is gutted
-door panels are still fine
-i was planning on fabricating a sheet metal dash, so it's ready for one if you're going that way (original dash was destroyed)
-seats are pulled out, but i still have them and they're still functional
-floor boards have all the cancer cut out, and are ready for new metal (i had started some of the welding myself)

Other than the floorboards, all metal is intact. There is some body damage, but for the most part, it's straight.
All the glass it there. power steering pump is disconnected, but power steering works fine. (i have everything you need to hook it back up)
As far as electrical, all you need to do is set up a switch for the lights (they do all function)

I do have a 350 short block that i was planning on dropping in, that will bolt on to the transmission (but motor mounts need fabricated)

I will let the 350 go for an additional fee (it has less than 10,000 miles on it)

As I don't check my email very often, you can get ahold of me at my cell (928)246-1263

My names Greg, just try not to call after midnight or before 7 am. other than that, feel free to call me whenever

If i don't pick up, I'm likely working and will call you back within the half hour.
