“straight” car, original paint, uncrashed car. Even a “good” Vega is bad.

Yeah, they were really rust prone.

Nice metalwork! At this point it seems to be more reconstruction than restoration

Not my good metal work, budget metal work. This car doesn’t deserve orhave the budget for museum quality butt- welded artwork. The trunk floor was a sign of some kind.

The shiny wheel well tricked me into thinking you rebuilt it. Either way, Kudos on putting effort into keeping a “non-collector” car on the road. I guess it’s about the same thing my father and I did with my Pajero and plan to do with my old 505

He’s already over budget, but a v8 vega needs to be made of steel. or at least the four corners should be.
