Thanks everybody!!

I really just decided to hunt one in the last couple of weeks and this one kind of fell into my lap.

Short term plans are just to get it on the road. It's a lot easier to stay motivated (for me anyway) if I can play with it a little in between mods.

Long term? All the suspension goodies, a trans that needs a clutch pedal, a nasty powerplant. I'm a lifelong small block devotee' so that's where I'll go. I've resisted the pull of the LS's so far but it's tempting. We'll see............

I'll get some more pics up here tomorrow when the rest of the parts get here.

Exhaust is new 2½". Got air shocks I guess. It's got a fill valve on the bumper. Haven't tried it. Aluminum drums from a Buick.

Some interior shots. I'm not crazy about the seats. Don't know what they are out of. I'd like to find a stock bench seat.

I have the stereo also, it's just been removed. It's a Kenwood but I don't know if it's any good. The dash cover is shot of course.

The door panels are pretty nice.

The wheels are Summit 15x8 and 15x4. 275 60's and 165 60's all new. They came with the car.

Just another overall shot. I got it moved into the center bay today so I've got some room to work.

Nice looking car! (and nice garage!) Good luck with your project!
 
dude killer garage man and badass car
 
Looks great..(nice garage also) and aluminum drums...nice score!
 
Paul,
As expressed by some of the other guys, I dig your garage. Also noticed the bug along side your Malibu. I've always had a warm spot in my heart for those cars. Is it a driver or project?

Once again, you've found a nice Malibu. You could tell it was loved.

Good luck, man!
