Welcome aboard!
Nice find on the Vista - looks like a great project ahead of you - lots of potential! Nice plans for the engine - what a street sleeper.

Geez, I wish I had one of those when I was 18! All I got was a hand-me-down Pinto...
Buy a service and body manual and use the internet - you will get lots of help from these and learn a lot in the process. For new parts, look up Fusick's, The Parts Place, OPG, Kanter, Year One, or Paddocks. Many parts will be available, though some Vista body parts are harder to find.

I hope to find a VC some day that I can use as a daily driver - I like the style and utility they offer.
Keep us posted on your progress!

Oh - to add pictures, use the "post reply" button (not quick reply) and click the button for "manage attachments". Follow the instructions and you can post pictures. Or, use photbucket or flickr or one of those sites (like I do) and just post the link in your message.
