That's a clean Malibu. I wanted a wagon for my next project, but looking at your 2door is giving me 2nd thoughts
Well, it's taken me a couple days but I've read the whole thread, watched the videos and I've come away mighty impressed!!
You've inspired me to get off my butt and tackled a bunch of small stuff while I'm buildin' cash for the cool stuff.
