Hey Folks,
Here are some quick videos of FrankenVega in action.

THEY WORK NOW. I have them at another site.

Most of these videos were before the paint and power tune
(so bear in mind its ugliness). I hope you enjoy!

#1 Fire it up!
Engine fire up time for our FrankenVega. Open headers, the neighbors must've loved it.
Fire it up

#1A First time under its own power.
Got everything hooked up and couldn't wait to light em up!

#2 Time for bed.
After getting it to move under it's own power, I had to hear it for myself.

#3 Around Town 2002.
Taking the FrankenVega out for a cruise. I wanted to see how it sounds and looked in action. My Daughter(taping)had the windows rolled up.

#4 Wrong track!(car show)
Took the FrankenVega to a track. Wrong kind though. My Dad worked at a local roundy track and they had a cruise night.

#5 Out for a cruise 2004
Just got the FrankenVega painted and went out to dinner for Me & the Wifes 22nd Wedding anniversary. Then hit the local cruise. Our first date was in a Vega wagon. Go figure.

#6 Going cruising!

#7 Cruisin 09/05
A couple weeks ago, Me & the Wife took the Vega out to our local cruise, and coming in, bumped into another Vega.
Then shortly after, Mark (from the next street over) showed up in his Vega.
This is extremly rare in northern Ohio! Salt capital!
Mark's hatchback is a V8 6 speed.
Anyway, I thought this was kind of cool so here's the video. It's about 6 megs.

#8 Charity Car Show 10/05
Took the FrankenVega to a local Charity car show for Hurricane Victims and Veterans.
Though the turn out was small(so many other shows at the same time). The weather and people were great!
Bumped into another Vega from Wellington(about 20 miles S/W from me).
The amount of Vegas/Monzas in the area is amazing for Northeast Ohio.

#11 Wrong Track 6/07
Yep went back to the track. HotRod Night show at a local roundy track where my Dad works part time. Thought he'd get a kick from it.

#12 FrankenVega Power footage
Was coming back from the Elyria Apple Festival car show and figured I grab some power footage real quick.
Unfortunatly no one was with me to zoom the camcorder, so first gear blasts is about it.

Enjoy!
