Recommended Posts

This thing is awesome my friend, I like the Rotor decal you placed in the back, nice touch. Can't believe this simple kit could look so good. The paint is smooth too!

That is really slick Cruz! One thing though, it's missing the big block! LOL Great job on that engine too.

I've been following this build and I love it. Anybody and everybody has put a V-8 in a Vega, in fact the 1:1 conversion kit was released a week before the car was! This is certainly not a cookie cutter car, you know, when you go to a show and there is one after another of essentially the same thing.

This Vega stands out.

Great Work!

Cruz, what else is there to say?

Top notch build all the way! Now I've just got off eBay not long ago a certain vintage Corolla on the cheap that I was thinking of doing the same thing with, but with a "twist". ;) hehehe

I'll be in touch.............:lol:

Brap,brap,brap,brap,brap,brap,brap,brap. Quick needs more rice.LOL. Just kidding. I love it! Nice to see a rotor built old school with big porting and huge IDA webber. Well done.

Cruz, it's gorgeous!!

Any plants for a Pinto to stage in the next lane?

.Thanks fellas, Dan, I do have a Monza in my stash, I am sure I could do something with that! But the Monza is gonna have to carry a big block, a lot of people here are hurt when I went with the Rotary in the Vega.... :):unsure:

Then mission accomplished!! :lol::lol::lol:

May I suggest a 20R Toyota engine with a big Weber for the Monza? ;)

Very sweeeeeeeet Cruz. I've been watching this build an I am impressed. Will you be in Toledo?:lol:
Thanks Gary! While the Toledo show is very nice, the traveling part of it just turns me off man, I did it once, think I'll keep it at that!! :lol:

Wow, this is a great build, I use to have a rotary Mazda in the '70's, these little things were rockets and the engine was exactly how you did it. Love the stance specially those nice meaty tires and wheels in the back.
