Re: Day 2 Vega
Going to try to find time to install the axles and new drum brakes this evening.
Got the suspension and various body bolts back from oxide coating. They look great. Everything on the pedal assembly is oxide coated while the handle and attaching housing on the e-brake are painted black and semi flat cleared. The rest of the assembly is oxide coated.

Re: Day 2 Vega
Got the axles and brakes installed.
Drum brake assemblies came from Strange also. I have some packs of oil pan bolts that have Mr Gasket embossed in the bolt head. They are being used to bolt on the ET cover.

Re: Day 2 Vega
I'm going to have decal copies made of the original Strange logo for the ends of the axles.

Re: Day 2 Vega
Thank you.
After I get the dash and the rest of the interior painted, I hope to really get with putting this thing together. I'm so excited about opening up all the nos, Day 2 parts that's been collected. I found out a few days ago a buddy of mine has me a nos dipstick and Todd,( guy who owns the red Vega wagon pictured in this thread), may have me a L88 tube located.

Re: Day 2 Vega
I need some opinions. I already have an early set of nos, Hooker headers for my car.
Would I be crazy to pay 1000.00 for an unused set of Motion Vega headers? They have surface rust but have never been ran.
