Monte on Malibu?

[GRIMRN]

New to G bodies and got 2 project cars. Getting nowhere fast. If you have any tips as far as car resto pls chime in.

First off you need to make a goal plan and find a budget.

My resto is curently a 2 g budget because i'm using as many parts as i can that i have laying around. (i.e, hood, nose cone, motors, rear ends, trans, etc.)

My question is what are your plans especially for the monte because it looks like it just came out of a resto. The malibu looks like a great starter project too. Throw up some more pictures when you get the chance.

Thanks, ive poured alot of cash into the monte. Bouncing around from mechanic to mechanic ive lost tome and cash .
The Malibu is at the shop mow getting a 350 motor. Both bodies are pretty good, just the plastic trim and alot of the leather is worn or cracked. I plan to use the Malibu as my daily driver and just cruise around on weekends with the Monte.

More pics on the way...

from personal expirence..

i find working on one project until its completed before moving on is the best way to actually get anything done.

i have a neighbor that has a Chevelle, Malibu, and a Monte Carlo- all of them in perfect rebuildable shape, but none of them are going anywhere. he's spread to thin. they're just getting worse by the year.. now he has 3 buckets to fix, making the task even more difficult.

the best tip i have, for the average mans budget, i'd say sell one, (preferrably the monte carlo to me :wink: ) and focus on one.
