some recent photos. pic#1 the engine is out being rebuilt. I had removed the tunnel ram and wanted to put one back on it, but I don't think it's going to happen. (possibly sometime later)

pic#4 new tires (p245 60 on the rear and p205 70 on front). I polished the mags, purchased new lugs and locks, and just finished the brake job.

Im young, but i think a V8 in a vega is absolutley insane, and yours looks phenominal! Its a shame vega's are so hard to find/to find one that hasnt been completley pro-streeted or full on drag built. All i can say is awsome ride! (ps. love the ingenuity behind the camaro spindles instead of the conventional s10 ones)
