My First Car 73 Vega Project
Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2013 1:18 am
Just Bought myself A 73 vega GT. Still working on getting it to my house, ill post pictures once i get it here. Some of my major goals with this project are to build it with a bit of unique power plant i dont really want to build one with a V8 because i just want to try something a little bit different than what you would expect to be under the hood, some of the options ive been considering have been a turbocharged quad 4 or a turbocharged ecotec, the only issue ive had with these is that they are both FWD configurations (apart from the pontiac solstice which came with a RWD ecotec). I dont need something too powerful because its going to be my first car (im 15 so i have about a year to try to get a running vehicle)
Now about the car, it doesn't have a huge amount of rust just a couple of spots around the windshield. Its mostly complete except for the following parts: headlights, tailights, lower front fascia, rear fascia, seats (not a problem, ive located a back seat and i was going to run racing seats in the front anyways), motor and transmission (another thing i wasn't going to use anyways). If anyone has any information on where i could find any of these (perferably used because im kind of on a budget). anyways i think this is a good start to the thread so comment away im thankful for any suggestions.
