Got my 81 Malibu on a trade a few months ago. Just barely getting around to doing some work on her. Have been through a lot of cars and just might keep this one, lol. Hopefully it turns out as nice as some of the ones I've seen on here. Any ideas would be appreciated

Got my 79 lights on eBay and mounted them. Big difference compared to the 81 style

Had a fun time trying to figure out the conversion from the old style alternator to the new style. But after figuring it out, changing the ps and water pump, she purrs like a kitten. Also put a new radiator.
