I had a Vega too! Great little car until the pistons collapsed, luck there was a silent warranty for overheating. Got a new engine. Only real problem I ever had with it was the carberator screws would loosen and it would start runing like shit. Had to then pull over and tighten them down.dark-glasses said:similar to my brother's...he took the vinyl off and was sanding it smooth last I saw it.
The goof ball put a big block into a Vega! I thinkhe had the only one in Michigan with no rust... i think he did that in the late 70's (probably still has it...he piles up cars in his garages) he had to move the radiator to fit that honkin' engine in there.
