79 MALIBU REBUILD

[bapekidon4s]

your doing a good job on the build so far. so whats your plans for the rear seat, do you plan to have it recovered to match the front buckets or will you change everything?

actually got lucky the mali came with a black leather back seat and it kinda matches the zo6 seats so i might leave that one or do no back seat i really just want to get the new floor pan in so i could do all that .. u smog the car yet?

Had some time couple days ago so decided to take off the front headlight clip and hood so it will be easier to pull that engine out and im swaping all that stuff anyway. i noticed the right side looked a little funny kind of lopsided looks like it was in a little bumper accident maybe cus the piece where the fender connects to the frame is a bit bend no big deal..




Just finished taking the old dash out a minute ago bunch of wires left that im not going to need. Im going to go no interior lights, a/c, nothing so ill pull all that out later on maybe this weekend. Pretty simple to pull off couple bolts here and there unplug this and that and its off, easy not too sure if it will be that easy to reinstall but i should be fine :wink:

My seats are all black zo6 with red stiching and black back seat dash is maroon from a monte ss and all the panels will be black.. Paint im kinda going for maybe some type of white pearl but im not too sure yet have you found the color for ur mali??

And gauges i put some of the originals back on the others didnt fit but im thinkin about a digital dash anyway so i should be ok

Anyone know where i can find dash wiring pictures or know what i could and cant pull out :?:

Did you swing by GM Sports in San Jose. They are a full wrecking yard for GM Muscle Cars and last time I was there they had several LS engines complete with accessories on the showroom floor. www.gmsports.com prices are a lil high but you can work deals with those guys.
