Hi, I just joined recently and slowing learning my way around and thanks to the help of the nice people on this site, I've ended up here. I posted some of this in the section for new users. But here some back ground on my malibu.I got a loan from my grandfather to buy the car for $1200.00. It was silver w/silver top. A buddy and I restored this car 20+ years ago, after a bad break up my ex had a few people sabotage my car. They did this months later, so at the time I had no idea that, that's what had happen. They apparently put something (Sugar maybe, ping ping pong ball?) in the tank, ran at idle but when you would try and drive it it was miss so bad you couldn't do more than 5mph. luckily I parked the car, because they had cut the rear break line and wrapped sparklers around the carb. The car has sat rotting away until about two weeks ago, I just finished building my garage, figured it was time to start a frame off restore. The plan is for an LS swap with a pro-touring handling package. Heading up to Pa next Monday to take a tour of UMI performance facility and to pick up my suspension kit. Dropping the frame off to get powder coated on Tue.
Here's a few photos of the progress so far. I plan to keep all the part numbers if any of you are interested. Hope you enjoy and thanks again for having me here.
