Where did you find a Vega that hasn't rotted away to lace? Must be somewhere in the arid Southwest.
If you take it on, it would be a pretty cool thread to watch. I'd subscribe to that.

Better wait for the ADD to settle down in my head
, my brain runs around like this all the time. I have seen several Astre/Vega/Monza chassis around that have not gone the way of the dust, but mostly out West. There have been some that are in the Midwest, but they by and large are V8 swapped.
