MALIBU 1980 Malibu 500 Cadillac

[500/600]

This evening I installed a Hellwig 1" rear sway bar with 7/16" bolts, Belltech 5118 rear springs, and KYB shocks. The 5118's dropped it exactly 1". Just about perfect with about 1/2" of the 275/60-15s up in the fenderwell.

Hopefully this weekend I'll get the QA1 stuff on the front end and get it down where I want it. Then a picture or two.

Any updates? I drove mine this past weekend. Really ready for some good weather cruising!

Glass bumpers and spoiler getting fitted. I should have the Caddy engine in it early summer

eBay. Needs some work to get it mounted correctly but it does look nice.

Really looking great! Keep up the progress! I need a new starter myself. Grenaded the bendix gear last week. Great excuse for a high torque unit!

The engine is finally going together...….I ain't had nothing but problems with this thing. It better fly!

Still don’t have the engine entirely together but close. I’ll have to fab new engine mounts and do who knows what to the A/C box to make it fit.

Way late but front end stuff going on today.
