cotto Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Zoom Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 That is really slick Cruz! One thing though, it's missing the big block! LOL Great job on that engine too. Chris God will get you for that, Walter Rotaries rule Killer Vega, love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotto Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 10 seconds?????I didn't put this little rocket engine in there for a 10 second run!!!! but I do know very well about Salinas!!! I am just kidding Cruz, I wish I could build like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGary Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I am just kidding Cruz, I wish I could build like that! 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!

meaneyme Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
