Sounds nice. Building is a great pass time. Have a few Vega's in my past. Had 4 of them in the 70's. "75" hatch back was one I loaded up by adding PS, tilt wheel. factory cruise, reclining drivers seat, sport suspension, custom exhaust and GT interior. Left drive line stock so it was good everyday driver. With the "74" notch back, (had a real trunk) did an engine transplant, 283ci Chevy V-8 with Turbo 350. Fun to drive but impractical with 55 mph speed limit. Now I am working on tractors, both small and large. Being retired helps some but not much. First Wheel Horse was a one owner "77" C-160 in 1985 from a Dr. with lots of equipment. Added Ag lug tires and wheel weights, clevis hitch and did everything with it. Arthritis convinced me to upgrade to a one owner 1991 520H to get away from the manual lift in 1995. It came with the 60" deck. Added Ag lug tires, wheel weights and clevis hitch. Bought the 310-8 with 36" deck in 2010 to mow narrow strips between fences and hedges that I had been using a push mower on. 18 months ago the 1994 520H was setting on a ditch bank where it was left after being run out of oil. Two men were preparing to haul it across the scales for scrap and I saved them the trouble by paying them $25 and hauling it home. It was also a one owner, that came with a 48" deck, but not cared for. It was stored outside so paint, decals and seat look terrible. Put a 8 HP Sears David Bradly engine on it last summer to mow with it and check it out. Very under powered, but the gear reduction steering, lift and transmission work better than my nice looking one. That's why I am doing the 22 HP engine upgrade. Mechanically it is nearly done and runs great. Needs rewire completed, then paint and decals. By the way , when you need help to keep your Onan running, "Sooner Influence" is a good man to know for parts and info. Hope the charging system is an easy fix for you.
