79 MALIBU REBUILD

[Doober]

Looks like a decent start 😀 Is that a split bench? If so it uses the same seat tracks as buckets, so you won't have to go hunting or install the inside brackets for mounting buckets.

Looks like a pretty good starting point! Have fun with it!

I started with this....

swapped out the doors, bumpers, lights, grille etc etc...complete interior and motor...and now my son's driving it...

dam dats cool ima sell my front clip too then and sounds good ima do the same swap i heard u could splice the old headlight setup so it could work with the new.. craigslist or ebay? oh and y 82 and up fenders? are they different or wat

Nice bu! I believe the newer fenders have the marker lights. Also you can splice the double head lights into the single set up, thats how my Elco was done.

Nice one there too Kevin! I see your kickdown cable is disconnected. What bracket are you using? I have the same carb and manifold and I need a different bracket or should I modify the stock one? BTW, sorry for the hijack too!
