86 GP project

[08Malibu]

Got a th350 crossmember coming from SS_malibu. Next thing I’ll need is a driveshaft.
I have to put the newer headers into my Malibu, so I can put the older ones on here. I have a full pypes duel exhaust in my attic as well. Maybe I’ll get this car together yet.

Looks like I’ve located a driveshaft. I’ve also found a set of 3rd gen formula wheels, if I can get to them before they’re sold.

Got my jegs crossmember and formula wheels today. Couple more parts and time to start assembly. I might have a guy lined up to do the bodywork for me, to save some time. I’ll do final block and paint if I go that route. We’ll see what happens. First I need to get it running.

Let us see pictures with the formula wheels installed when you get to it.

I was inspired by this car. Hopefully they fit ok.

Picked up the driveshaft yesterday. Once I get back from vacation the beetle is going away, and the engine and trans for this car are coming home. I have to get them sorted, and swap the headers in my Malibu, then I’ll bring the GP home to get it together. Of course I have three side jobs lined up when I get back as well, so it won’t be a really quick process.

I finally got my GP back from the mechanic. The car had not crank, no start. after taking the starter off to tested, I saw a couple of burnt ignition wires at the starter so I changed those, still nothing until we got to the ignition switch. Any way I also got to put on my reproduction GTA Wheels from Jeggs and the car looks great with these new shoes (at least to me). View attachment 20230802_085754.jpg

Just opened the attachment. Missed it before. Car looks great on those wheels.

The car that was on the side was finally moved, so I was able to put the wheels on that held air. Now the car may actually roll. Time to get moving on the car.

Need a torque converter and flex plate for the car. I posted in the wanted section if anyone local to me has one.
