I dont post much but I check in every day, I have been working on a 50 x 32 foot garage addition. Garage is done to framing and siding and shingled. But the wife demanded a big Great room addition to the house for her and stuff. That is much more involved than building a garage.Its been an on going project for the last year and a half.Ive had to put playing with my cars on hold until I get it all done. I hope to eventually have a area in the garage that is heated and cooled so I can work anytime.This has been a dream of mine since I was a teen and playing with vegas and other cars Brian

Only thing I see wrong [aside from the garage not being big enough, They never are] is that the bathroom is too far for us "Old Farts" from the bedroom. I need to save my energy for Car work not walking that whole 4 or 5 extra steps to the P :censored: r! :lol: in the middle of the night. Brian, HOLY S :censored: T that is more than 2X mine and I can never find anything in there, but that must be nice to have that much room! :mrgreen: Harry

Hi, Damn that's about 4 times mine. Yup heat and ac is important for sure. Having a throne near by would be nice too :lol: . The next one has to be at least a 2 car space minimum.

Hi Ken, Thanks, the panhard is maybe temporary for rolling only. I've got other ideas in my head for something a bit different, in its future.

Hi all, Well after a six year wait, the Vega is finally getting some love again. All my renos are done on the house so it's time to get back to the car.I first had to tidy up the shop so i could get the tarp off the car and clean up the aftermarket rear quarter from flash rust inside and outside. Now i can get back to bodywork.Here are some pics to go with it.

Hi gerbsinmd, yup it was a hack job just keeping it looking ok for the road. I also found out this side wheel well was 1-3/4 inch higher than the other side :th: . I've found out that aftermarket panels are a pain, but somehow i'll get it to fit, not perfect but drivable . I have a pic in my garage that shows the thickness of the arch at over .750 inch.
