'79 Malibu project

I bought this '79 malibu last October and now I'm fixing it up with the help of my brother

info:
1979 Chevrolet Malibu Classic Landau
Std. 305
Thm 350 gear
eurocar

that is how it looked like in October '08
pics:


the rear bumper was loose


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this is how it was 27.02.09



the top is bad, because of the vinyl top:






the rear frame rails are very bad:







the braket is broken:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.04.09 me and my brother took the exhaust and fuel tank









I'm hoping to have the car finished for next summer

the plan is:
dual exhaust system
350/327 sbc,
cragar sst wheels
two-tone paintjob
and more... 😀

but first I'm going to buy Monroe shock absorber and brake shoe and brake pad from Wilwood, that's the most important things right now 🙂

I would think the most important thing would be fixing the frame, but that's just me. Good luck!

well, yes, that's true. 🙂
the frame rails and the top is the two most important things that needs to be fixed.
but the most important parts are shock absorber, brake pads and brake shoes. 😀
my brother will build the frame rails for me. 🙂

and btw, where can I buy louver for malibu?
I think it would look cool with a louver in the rear window 8)

Looks like you've got your work cut out for you!

Nice 'Bu though, not too many with buckets and a console.
Even better that it's a non a/c car!

true, but that's just fun! 😀

I think this malibu is one of three Malibu's in Iceland that have bucket seats with console and no A/C
