82 Malibu Wagon in New Zealand

Looks nice. I still have A, B & G body parts in storage unit from closing down shop, if you ever need anything.

Can't promise anything but doesn't hurt to look.

Cheers handy to no, next thing to do on it is take it to a sand blaster & get the front chassis & front end done. Then can start piecing it together at last, closed my business down end of march so just cleaning this place out so i can get back to her

Hoping soon i can start back on this, was running a Holden car dismantling business but good old covid finished that with the downturn here. Not to worried been in the game my whole life & was frankly over it, work 7 days a week & never get anytime for your own stuff. Clearing out old stock at pres & cleaning up, finally found the front of the malibu again which is a bonus so hopefully before xmas i can hook into her.
Finished the black wagon 6 months ago that one came in as a rough as farm vehicle with a blown trans, custom front on it & new paint & a lot more she's a good driver now. Just put an L67 into the sedan & got that running at last so that one can wait least i can move it easy now & the red & silver one is a 92 Holden Calais with 112k on the clock, thought i'd chuck those pics in of something different for you guys over there to see .......

Looks like you been busy. Noticing how things are laid out, clean, walking room around cars, grass trimmed, parts stacked neatly. Shows a lot of credibility of your professionalism. Cheers Mate.

Got all round the Malibu cleaned up & just giving everything a good inspection, was going to change everything on the front suspension but looking at it i wont need to. Ill do balljoints tie rod ends & the idler, chuck in the new shocks & front brakes & that will sort that side of her. Bushes are all still in pretty good order so i'll leave those for now, apart from that heaps of scrubbing to clean up the front chassis rails etc & chuck some paint on it will be the next mission

Got the parts wagon home from storage today & had a mate paint the radiator support for me so hopefully clear some time soon & make a start on piecing this old girl back together
