I'm always amazed at the lengths we all travel for the "right" project car.
I found my '68 in the middle of NE. You just found yours in my back yard.

for years I've had an itch to do an early Vega with one of these turbo 4's. Sort of like a modern Cosworth.

I've always been interested in these little Metros. Can't wait to see what you do to her.

I didn't mean curve the existing glass.......but rather find a suitable windshield and graft it in.

Very cool! Of course, that silly old song (Little Nash Rambler by the Playmates) is now stuck in my head "beep beep, beep beep, his horn went beep beep beep..."

Actually, I thought it would be fun to pick up one of these and put in an electric drive train ("Electropolitan") so I could use it by myself in the carpool lane here in so cal.
