Hey Ogles, do what makes you happy. It sounds like you are really interested in the Vega. I have never had one- but they are cool. I think you have choice right now to go overboard & spend thousands, or methodically shop here & there & seek opertunities to develop the car to a thorough-bread ground pounder with less... either way, it would be a shame if somone does not resurect the Vega!!
