So my 80 malibu was more rust then car. The floor peeled off with the carpet. The body mounts were gone. Unfortunately 2 months ago we had some high sustained winds for a few days and the body shifted and fell through the frame. I stored the 3.8 supercharged engine. Maybe put that in a jeep one...

What's a fair price for a manual setup from an original 4speed malibu?

Well my 80 malibu l67 project car is dead. Every little thing I did more of the bottom of the car just disintegrated till it started coming off the frame like good bbq. Ironically the frame is near mint. I just made a deal for a 78 4spd car that's already had the bottom of the car finished. It's...

My 80 Malibu apparently had a sad history. Body and frame supports cut to fit speakers and now that I got under the camaro dash that was smushed in I find the HVAC system was totalled. So I pulled everything. My donor car for this build is a 2000 buick regal supercharged. I've been tearing...

I got my malibu off a buddy I've known since elementary school. Plan was build a racecar with my daughter. After pulling some of the interior I found the rear sheet metal completely hacked out for a speaker system. So I made braces. Then I got the carpet out and the floor is gone. Like literally...

Anyone know the exact sizes of the bolts for the body mounts. All of mine were trashed and I habe to repair some sections before installing new ones. I want to order solid body mounts and I need the lengths

My malibu is an 89. Has some m80 parts. The interior has a third gen camaro dash which I was going to rip out. The floors are shot and the rear was gutted for some crazy sound system at some point. I got racing seats, a 6point cage, and some other dodads. My daughter and I were building it to...

I always liked the front of the malibu more then the rear. My car came without any rear panels (tail lamps and whatnot) I was thinking of getting a knockoff tail panel from maybe an older a body or fbody and making a rear panel with led lights or something. I know foose did something with an el...

I'm building my 80 malibu to thrash around. Basically as my daughter is getting near driving age she wants to know what I do about cars. I've been a 2nd gen fbody guy most of my life but I got the malibu at a good price and I love that square body look. Anyway to the point. The tire I'm looking...

My friend lives in Delaware. He bought a 67 c10 for him and his son to restore. His c**t neighbor called the cops on him for having a nonregistered car. It's on his property not in a homeowners association. It has no engine so he said he can't register it because it need emissions for...

i was looking for something to wrench on when my buddy called and offered me the malibu currently in my garage. what started as a good setup to dump a engine and trans in turned into a full restoration needed not on the exterior body but the rear sheet metal was removed and replaced with plywood...

I'm thinking about doing this. I'm looking at the qa1 coil over setup and from the videos on youtube I'm gathering just the upper shock mount is used. so if i narrow the frame in theory could i run some dom tube through the frame and some extra bracing on the inside of the frame where the stock...

currently contemplating building the 350 sitting in my garage or going ls. since i have to pull my frame anyway what are some options if i wanted to go with a rack or if i should keep the box setup. future plans will be for cruising, drag, and autos

i know they are friends sponsors whatnot of roadkill and hot rod garage but i like the look. currently i have a non ls 350 i want to build a turbo motor out of. and with using efi and all i now its going to be some budget. if i switch to a 5.3 with the atomic setup i could shave some money off...

Does the el camino rear bumper fit the malibu?

This is why it's always important to check a used car 100%. I'm taking all the old stuff out for harnesses anyway but this was the driver side seat belt. I guess the old owner preferred black interior over white

my malibu has a entire 3rd gen dash setup in it. at first i thought it looked cool but i have to gut the wiring harness anyway and its going to have to completely come out. i haven't done any real fabrication in a long while. other then the odd exhaust system or control boxes for switches and...

On my 80 malibu the latch was busted off the body. If someone could send me some pics and specs I have a replacement section I want to weld it all up.

Yea so I've been all over the place on what to do with my malibu. I've done na, I've done supercharger, and big blocks. I was binge watching roadkill on Netflix when I saw their datsun with a 4.3 from an s10 basically stock with a turbo from a Ford 7.3. Then it hit me I habe never done a turbo...

was talking about the old days with my buddy from childhood. we both got into cars about the same time. while i went to school for automotive he did backyard work. we always had fun just throwing combos together and hitting the track to see what we did. one of the big differences was i had a...
