I tried googling for some photo's, but all I could find were interior shots of the new Grand Prix's. Please post a pic of your Grand Prix door panels when you can.

I dunno - if it wasn't for the "442" emblem on yours, I would take yours before the Cars and Concepts 82 Grand National version. :D

Cool looking custom panels, but 1) they cost too much 2) I think they would look cheesey in an otherwise stock interior 3) custom panels go out of fashion whereas stock panels never look out of place! I appreciate the link though - my Dad is building a '38(?) Dodge rod so I'll pass the...

Door panels aren't something I have taken a lot of notice of before, but since I'm going to be replacing the ones on my '81 2-door Malibu eventually, I thought I'd ask - which make/model of G-Body came with the nicest looking door panels? 1988 Monte Carlo SS? 1985 Grand Prix? 1987 Buick...

You don't necessarily need to purchase the Holley kit because you could piece together something for <$10 from scrapped autos, but you should wire in your pump the same way that they have listed in the instructions on that link you posted. Here is link that gives a better explanation for...

The owner hasn't replied to my email. It's probably for the best... I need to make some progress fixing up the one I already have.

That would make this a cool parts car if it wasn't a five hour drive from me. Moon roof = parts car in my book. :D

I just saw an ad on kijiji for a 79 Malibu with factory moon roof and "2 door sport package". That's the first I've ever heard of a Sport Package. Was one ever really offered and if so, what did the package upgrade?

I crawled under the car at lunch break today and measured the bumper shocks - they are both the same length. Both looked as though they might have been compressed at one time, but it's hard to say for sure. What's interesting is that on the drivers side, there are two metal spacer plates...

That's funny - I thought the bumper fit was perfect on the passenger side and too far out on the drivers side. It never even occurred to me that the passenger side was pushed in. I will measure both bumper shocks tomorrow. The bumper that on is there now is straight so I think I'll try...

I recently purchased an 81 Malibu because the body was in really good shape. There's no sign of any work having been done in the last decade (except a quck weld on the skin of the door), but several things are kind of off about the car. First of all, there is an obvious, but slight, crumple...

Thanks! A headlight upgrade is definitely on my wishlist of mods so I appreciate the information you guys have shared.

Sorry for the dumb question, but..... Is the term housing and lense being used interchangably in this thread? :?

Thanks guys! Hey, I even found a place where you can buy PDF versions of all three service manuals - http://www.ssbuilder-tech-manuals.com/index.htm

Do you remember the sellers ID? Does the install require fiberglassing either cover to the body?

Thanks for the info! I'm reluctant to remove the door windows simply because I can see myself struggling to get them re-aligned after. Once the weather clears up and I pull a door panel off, I'll gain a better understanding of what's all involved. I have the 1979 Service Manual, but it...

Hi. I plan to start prepping my 1981 Malibu for paint soon, but before I start tearing stuff apart I thought I should ask if there is anything to watch out for or tricks to know regarding removal of the door handles and locks. Will any springs shoot out, rods fall to the bottom of the door, or...
