Front and rear still straight, but ya gotta do something about the core support top. VERY weak, dimple the rear subframes 2" behind rear sheet metal and where the rear shocks end about 8 inches back from hatch end. Crush the pillars in and down. Pushing mine up so far! Trans supper brackets rusty/ weak fix them however your rules allow. Weld rear end solid rather than limited slip. Bar from top of roof to right where rear subframes end. Pre bend pre bed pre bend the rear otherwise those rear subframes will collapse and make you a front only car.

Will soon turn this into the sticky for Monza/Vega, and change title as such, if you don't mind.

Have a 75 vega wagon. Fully creased but not done creasing yet in this pic but running cables to sub frame where it webs off at fire wall so its like a 70s caddy four frame since these cars nose at fire wall. And have a four point cage welded in.

I can't say anything about the engine, transmission, steering or bumpers stock on the cars since mine had none of that when I got it. I also had a crown Vic front bumper seam welded with a 2x6" 1/4" thick metal bar in it didn't seem to hard for the front.

Mine hasn't bent up front yet an I'm only allowed to mount outside subframes per my rules since that's where my year Monza mounted. so I'm not much help if you've got the shocks shoved that far in. If you look at WFO his bent at steering box and mount for steering on passenger side. I'd guess it will bend right in front of the firewall where it gets weaker once it enters the passenger compartment like to see after of yours and where it bend with your shocks that far in.

mine won't be able to give where urs did due to my shock that reaches the a arms. And my cage has to tay six inches off the firewall is y I'm running the cables to the windsheikd bars to try and keep it from nosing. Plus urs looks rusty. Mines 95 percent clean. Rusty where spare tire was.
