I learned something new today. Every time in the past when I have replaced an ignition lock cylinder there was a special bolt holding it in, either 8mm hex or a small torx. Today, on the '79 Malibu column, I was trying to figure out how to remove the ignition lock cylinder. There was no bolt...

I was thinking of having my frame blasted, and then acid dipped and galvanized, before painting or coating it black. I was wondering if any of you have had this done and what your thoughts are. I've read a few threads on some other forums about this and think I am going to go this route. I'd...

My 1981 Malibu's interior color is blue, code 26c, as per the body tag. I was searching and could not find what color blue this is. Gbodyparts.com has a buch of different paint colors listed but the codes are something else. I have no idea what Adriatic Blue is, but from their list it looks...

Bought a front license plate bracket. Part was in great shape and even included hardware. Good person to deal with. :!:

If you get a fiberglass hood you need lighter tension hood springs, so do you need lighter springs for a bolt on fiberglass trunk? Will it open if I remove one of the torsion bars? Can anyone post some pictures for me of the hinges and trunk struts on the cars without the torsion bars? I...

Does no one make the quarter glass window sweeps (felts) for 2 door Malibu's? I also cannot seem to find the body side rubber moldings. The ones that run from front bumper to rear bumper down the side of the car. Does anyone know where I can find these?

I know that in order to keep the bench seat you have to use a saginaw from a Gbody. Otherwise you will hit the bench or have to swap to bucket seats. The Gbody saginaw trans has a bracket that mounts to the case and moves the shifter forward. Is there anyway to use a bracket similar on an m22...

im starting a thread on the progress of the car. the plan is to fix the body first and have the frame blasted and powder coated. interior comes next, then im going to build a 355 or 383, 4 speed swap and a 12 bolt rear. suspension will most likely come last. i plan to get the bodywork done...

between the rear window and trunk lid on my malibu there is a panel. what is its name or what is it called? i havent had much luck searching for a new or good used one since i cant name it. mine is rusted badly and i was going to start pricing them vs trying to patch this one.

I inherited a 1981 malibu 2 door back in 2001 and it was my daily driver in high school. i parked the car by early 2003 and it sat, until about 3 days ago. i removed the car cover and opened the hood. i was able to get the engine to turn by hand and i poured some gas down the old dual jet...
