Thank you. I have always liked the wagons. Glad I finally had the opportunity to build one.

 

Here are a few picks of some of the new stuff I have now.

 

Sweet Vega! I just picked up a clean 76 wagon that Ill be doing an LS swap in too, but not nearly as intense as yours though.


Your Vega is going to be bad farking *** when its done.

 

Love the build...love the way you took the time to adapt the frame to the body. I'm doing the same build but a Monza. I saw someone use a front subframe from an 80's Camaro way back but the front tire stuck way out. Keep up the great build, be waiting for more update and pics.

 

Thanks guys it is really cold here right now so not much work getting done right now. I am gathering parts still though.
I ordered an ls9 cam to see how that will work.

 

I got my ls9 cam in today.

 

really interesting. Love these one off builds.

 

Here is some of the other stuff just waiting install now.
3" dual exhaust kit from cherry bomb.

3"x14" pypes bullet mufflers.

 

3" and 2.5" aluminum intercooler tubing.


I also made an elbow to fit the carb type intake and truck throttle body. I do not have a tig it is all done with a spool gun so be easy on me.


And I also bought a 72 parts car and have started changing the front end over to it. What do you think?
From this


To this

 

Awesome project man! That split bumper front end is going to look 125X better than the original! Now no more 2 year breaks! We wanna see this thing burn some rubber!

 

Yeah I hope so too. It has taken a lot longer than I would like.

 

Very cool build !!!!!......:d

 

Thank you

 

Definitely a win on the front end swap. And the elbow looks pretty damn good if you ask me. Love the car!

 

Just went through your project here. Very nice fab work. I especially like what you did with the steering and how you reworked that to box out the k-member to create more room.

 

Updates?

 

Changing the nose over set me back a little bit. I had to stand the radiator up and back just a little to get it to tuck up in the lower valance. That put the fans into the water pump. I moved the engine back 3" and bought an ls3 water pump to give me the extra room I needed.
New motor mounts are made. I have the radiator and intercooler mounted. Moved the turbos so they don't hit the tires at full lock. Built the exhaust, mounted the wastegates and dumps. I also have the charge pipes built. I am redoing the fire wall now so the engine isn't touching and I can bolt the trans back up.
When that is done I will pull the engine and put it together and ready to run. Then I can start wireing everything up. Hopefully it runs by spring. Here are some pics hope you all like them.





Here are a few with the front sheet metal off. I thought it looked kinda neat.

 

bad a$$

 

just read all 3 pages, awesome build man. subscribed

 

Great build I like the Blazer frame and the way you set the wheel openings back without stretching the actual car back. Unforunately the only Vega's I see are cobbled together this one looks great
