Vigors are special cars and their body shape is phenomenal imo. I got one also. A 94 5spd. You should've copped the manual in these...they are so fast

Good luck with it. I will be selling mine soon as I wanna get an SUV.... Namely ML500

The Vigor is lighter.. maybe 100 pounds or so. The Vigor to have is the 5 speed manual.. that thing will move (especially compared to its competition back in the day)

WTF... Not 2 minutes before I saw this thread, I was looking at a Vigor parked outside my shop and was thinking, "I should pick one of those up..."!! What are the odds?

yeha i am kinda disappointed a little in the shaved look tho... i kinda rushed it and see slight waves... i should have bondo'd the whole thing and blocked it and take some time.. but i was so tired and i just wanted to get it done... was freaking 102 in dallas today and that hangar just radiates heat... i will probably get S A B E R letters and put it across the center back... we will see tho..
i am beat.. lolz...

Nice job!!
my dad has one but went JDM on his vigor.... it's in the shop now cuz his original engine went out on him! he had 287,000 miles!! So he bought a JDM engine off of ebay and is waiting to be put in. i'll take pics as soon as it's done! the vigor needs body work though
You should change the headlights to a one piece... it'll make it MORE BADASS!! here's a couple pics of some JDM vigors with the one piece headlight:
