Check this out, all the work that has gone into this car is amazing.

I wished my photo skills were equally amazing, I'll have to take better pictures, but you can get an idea of the progress on the car so far.

See if you can make out all the subtle and not so subtle changes in the car...

Wow, that is some fine bodywork on that Vega! Ask your buddy to join and add more pictures of this fine Vega to the garage.

That they are, they look right at home in the back of the Vega too!

Is this the same project with the flush mounted windows on the bodywork forum? I love the taillights... Cool project. I've got to get mine rolling before I think this far ahead... I'm glad there is some trail blazing!

Well, my friend is making more progress on his car than I am with mine, so here are some pic updates of his:

Check out the latest shots, they don't do justice to this car currently, however. The amount of work done to it is amazing.

I'd say the pop up (out in this case) was made for a motorcycle tank.

I love everything on that car...except the front chin spoiler. It doesn't look right on the lines of that car.

I'm not into the big rim/short sidewall thing but that's just my taste. I'm into 15's with alot of sidewall. That is one kick ass ride though.
