New guy from Cedar Rapids, Iowa

[rodneypierce]

Well guys, just picked up my first Malibu tonight. Drove to St. Paul, MN to get her. Cleanest one I have found in my months of searching without laying down 5k plus for a roller. Gave 2300.00 for it. Cars in Primer but as solid as I could ever ask for. And here are a few pics. Can count on one hand the rust found in the car. Drivers floor pan is starting and there is a very small spot starting around one of the plastic push pins for the weatherstrip on the passenger side jamb. Then needs a little body work from where the landau top was removed. Overall very happy with the shape of the car. Hard to find them this clean in the Midwest!

Alright, moving right along. Got the interior out of the car (except the door panels, will do that tonight when I get off work). Looks like its going to need a drivers side floor pan, which I figured it would. Also appears to be a bit of rust on the roof on the passenger side where the studs for the Landau top were. No issues, Ill cut out the rust and tack in new pieces of sheet metal. I also ground out there old filler where the top meets the C pillar. Have to hit it with some 80 grit, and it will be ready to fill with fiberglass body filler instead of the standard they used. Also got the motor and trans pulled out of the car. Moving right along!
