MALIBU 78 Malibu wagon.

That's a very solid looking car and you've done some really extensive and clean work to it! I'm developing a like for wagons.

Well it's been awhile. I'm still trying to get thos thing moving forward. This is where it sits now. I'm working on getting the front suspension cleaned up and mounted back onto the car.

Does the replacement upper torque box align w/factory holes on the lnner rail surface?

Not 100% sure as the wagon frames seem to be different than the 2 or 4dr cars. That's why it's not fully welded as im going to be taken that into someone that has experience in that field to finish up the rear. I also got viking coilovers and plan to have a anti-roll bar.

Thanks for the follow-up. Been looking @ options there & that set-up was added w/my other choice. Curious if that was how it might work for setting things up.

Yeah i you have it done don't do it now wait till the car is on the frame and your alot closer or really know what your doing. I should have waited myself but spur of the moment buy with out some expertise or guidance. I was smart enough to not have the lowers wacked right off so that is my reference point I got to go off of for now.

My build is more street/touring so gusseted OE lowers will do but uppers & lowers might be what happens. The uppers are because of the aggressive drop (need to dial in better angles).
