Default Re: Day 2 Vega

I would love to get some pictures, unfortunately this thing is DEEP in the mess that is his garage. The guy is a scrapper. It would take me a week just to get the area in front of the garage door cleared. Then another week to get to the car. I would like to make him an offer on the car, with cash in hand but I don't know exactly what shape the car is in these days. When I last saw it the thing looked solid.
I remember him saying it has 5 something gears in the back too...
I'm going to seriously work on getting this thing out this summer.

Nice score. Some of that de-duster stuff that njsteve used on his 72TA might be helpful.

Gibbs Brand: http://www.gibbsbrand.net/

This stuff is great. Foose, Rad Rides, etc. use it on bare metal. You can paint over it.

Just got the E-brake cables in today. They are way better than the sellers picture showed. No corrosion of any kind. They still have the yellow paint markings on them. Mint condition.
