Newbie from Florida

Hey guys my name is Shaun I live in Florida in the Tampa area. I'm 25 and just got myself a new project car and hoping I can turn it in to what I've always wanted. Oh and please don't make fun of the name I've had it for years and I'm apart of about 6 other sites with the same name so its easier to remember.

The car I got is a 79 Pontiac Lemans. It seams to have a pretty healthy SBC in it.

I'm looking for info on if its possible to put Malibu stuff on this car. Ever since I can remember I wanted a Malibu. And this is pretty close to what I was looking for and the body of this car is in great shape. So what kind of info can you guys give me on what is interchangeable? Mainly the fenders,grille and tail lights. I really want the car to look like a Malibu.

I will post up some pics once I get to my shop in about an hour.

Its not that bad little rough but fixable on what parts will interchange i have no clue but others on here do.

Those Pontiacs are too cool to strip them of their identity. Sell it and buy a malibu if that's what you want. There are still plenty for sale.

If you pull the motor and keep it for your Malibu, I might buy the body and put my Buick engine in it. It is certainly better than the regal body I have now!

Sounds good to me. Find me a Malibu in decent shape, you buy it and I'll trade ya for the Lemans. Minus my drive train.

I'll keep my eyes open..

Good to see another Floridian with a G body project! I'm in New Port Richey, BTW.
