TOTALED!!! well folks the vega is out of circulation now,, I slid into a fence with a concrete lower section about 3 feet high,, it creased the entire pass side front to back,, I have lots of stuff for sale,, pm me with your needs,, if I have it and it's good I will sell,, right now the dash pad is on ebay and the front seats are on facebook marketplace,,I can't thank everyone here for all your help on this long build,, I only got to enjoy it for 3800 miles.. I am so sad about this, but cars can be replaced..Thanks again tinker

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is one of my favorite vega's. As long as your all right the rest is secondary. What's your ebay name?

Tinker Patients! Your Ok Right? Another shell can be found, still quite a few Vega HB's out there [more than Monza's near me it seems anyway] I don't think I would bail now unless it had become time for a change. Are you willing to share "what the F K went wrong. Glad your Ok either way, Stay in touch with us would you? The place just won't be the same with you! Harry

Tinker, sorry to hear that. I agree with Harry, if you haven't decided on a new and different path, give it some time, h-bodies are hard to get fully out of your system and you already have many of the parts to put another one together.

So sorry to hear, its tragic when this happens. Hopefully you will bounce back and build another with all the knowledge you have.

Sorry to hear. Followed the build. Glad you're ok.

Thanks,, waybad is my ebay

Thanks guys for all the well wishes,, I'm just out for a while of the Vega's.. I'm not sure what the future holds,, right now I can't stand them,, but I know that will change,, I've been a vega fan since they came out,, like you said,, it's in the blood DNA

That's nothing half a Vega couldn't fix. Maybe you can find one that has been messed up on the driver's side.
I would just mothball it for a year or so and see what shakes out of the grape vine. A lot of guys do that unintentionally.

Hang on to it for a while.The next one is just around the corner

Thanx Ken! -> And again Tinker I AGREE!!!!! And so far no money has fallen from my "$$$ Grape Vine" Harry

I agree with the others, keep it. Another car will be around the corner and all the conversion work should bolt in. The body and paint would be your biggest expense.

I have a nice 72 notch back you could transfer your drivetrain too...

I didn't want to mention any names, but............
Actually, I'm guilty of doing that with my Nova. Twenty years to get it on the road.
