Here's some pictures of my new ride, it's a 1975 Chevy Cosworth Vega. Will be getting a new paint job this year and I will get some hp out of that motor.

That was my first thought, very similar to the old Torrie :D

Intersting JR. Will sure stand out from the crowd. What's the plans for it?

Probably the first 4-cylinder on USM :) Intersting read (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Vega#Cosworth_Twin-Cam) on the Cosworth - Is there much more to be got out of them easily? Or thinking transplant like.. er..

4746 4747 :D:D

You can see where Holden got their LX hatch and Gemini coupe designs from..
..or was this originally an Opel design and not a Chevrolet?

Nice Vega. ;)

i would like to keep the coswoth in it and get about 300 hp out of it,but big dollars,also looking at those lsx 454 $11000us,would be nice.i'll get it painted first.

Drop a escort cossie motor in there.. The Vega Cosworth were ok power back in its days but they are gutless in the current climate :)
