Re: Day 2 Vega
I am just now getting back on the car......needed a break after the body and paint work [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]
Plus, my sons baseball has kept us all busy this summer. Ordered the axles from Strange Engineering last week and am currently blasting suspension bolts, clips, brackets, etc. and going to send them to be oxide coated.
