Well, just got in from the garage. Fired up the Vega today ... WOOHOO!!!
Been fighting with it all day trying to get in the tranny cooler lines and the starter, spent most of the day doing that, so we wound up grabbing a jerry can and an electric fuel pump, slapped on an old Q-jet I thought was still good (it wasn't) and barked it up, open headers and all, lol. The neighbors must love me. Could only run it for a few seconds as I was spitting out 2' flames from the headers and they are a shorty style and I didn't want to cook anything. What a blast though ;D ;D
Still more to do, install gas tank, fuel pump, Edelbrock carb and a rad as well as some minor stuff and the electrical but after the last couple of weeks I've had fighting with this thing it was nice to hear it roar.
This is what I started with
And this is where it's headed towards
Interior is almost done, just needs the carpeting installed and put some new trim pieces in, will definitely have it running soon and drivable by summer and then (maybe) the body shop.
Will post some updated pics later on, right now it's Miller time, lolol
