I'm back with some more picture of the Vega build. Due to some time off at work and the help of a good buddy we have made a fair amount of progress.
#1 I had to modify the K-frame and finally got it fit into place now. Them pesky headers where in the way as usual!!
#2 Fuel pumps all hooked up and wired up now.
#3 I'm going to run the battery out of the back of the car, so I bought a battery box and some battery cables and got everything run to where the spare tire once sat. So drilled a hole and put a grommet in place and ran the cable and sheath and then silicone it into place.
#4 The fuel line and battery cable running to the front of the car.
#5 Same as last picture.
#6 I had to get the radiator slightly modified at a local rad shop, and now have it in and hooked up. The hose's were a bit of a challenge as I went to a local automotive store and started picking and choosing hoses then brought them home until I found something that was suitable and cut it down to fit into place. I think I bought a total of 7 hoses before I found the right ones to fit the bill.
#7 Top rad hose, same as above.
#8 Battery cable coming through to the spare tires old home.
#9 With the help of my buddy, we got the dash all hooked up and back into place. Then we got the carpet into place and cut it as needed. Got the sill plates back in, and got the shifter and mini-console back in. This things starting to actually look like a car inside again!! The seat belt..... The last owner just cut the old seat belt bolts out and left us nothing to work with. So we ended up drilling them out and then a re-tap of the existing holes and got the seat belts installed finally. This wasn't a fun job....
#10 More interior..
#11 The mini-console, it worked out that we ran the shifter cable up threw the old e-brake hole and it worked out perfect. What are the chances of that happening....
#11 Tranny cooler, we ended up adding some tabs to the existing support you see and mounted it. The grill actually fit back into place when we were done.
