Wow, You got your Malibu in better shape than I did. I wish I could afford an LS swap myself, but for the time being I am in the process of having an SBC 350 put in the 81', Mechanic has to test the Engine I bought first. Welcome to the family and good luck on those parts. Finding them second hand would be cheaper if you can find someone who has them. 🤞

Welcome, nice starting point. Theres enough members on here that remove they’re heat and a/c. You’ll probably get hooked up. I just finished aquireing and painting my 79 Elco interior. As for rust, rear frame rails are always the first, then bottom of doors, body mount area both frame and floor. Rockers, inner and outer.

Just consider it a 1980 Malibu G-body

Pretty sure I have an '80 left headlamp bezel (driver quality). It'll be a few days to verify since we've had historic snowfall/cold temps, before i venture out to the shop again.

I have to ask, how much snow is historic in Oklahoma?


I have an '80 grille in great shape, but it has been painted black

Welcome to the site!

I have corner marker lights and the center dash vent. May be able to help with other parts.
