Drupal 7 not working with drupalvm - drupal-7

Question

I was trying to create a drupalvm instance running drupal 7 by changing the "core" and "version" as suggested in the readme file, and then running vagrant up, but the issue is that after doing so it keeps on installing drupal8 (default).
Following are the drupal.make.yml file and the config.yml file that I edited before building the machine.
drupal.make.yml
---
api: 2
# Basic Drush Make file for Drupal. Be sure to update the drupal_major_version
# variable inside config.yml if you change the major version in this file.
# Drupal core (major version, e.g. 6.x, 7.x, 8.x).
core: "7.x"
projects:
# Core.
drupal:
type: "core"
download:
# Drupal core branch (e.g. "6.x", "7.x", "8.0.x").
branch: "7.0.x"
working-copy: true
# Other modules.

Answer 1

7.0.x is not a valid drupal version. Re-read the docs above that link in the drupal.make.yml and change it to "7.x"
Also, be sure to run vagrant destroy to remove all traces of the old instance. It could be that it isn't downloading a new copy, just using the D8 that it downloaded already.
