My New Wheels
 

Well today I paid and brouight her home, The 1981 Chevy Malibu

This thing is loaded:

- Duel Exhaust with flowmasters
- 350 with a performance cam and headers
- Turbo 350 Trans with a stage 2 shift kit
- Steel Cowl Hood

Woo Hoo!!! Congrats! :)

Thx


and wow she moves....:D

looks cool...

cant wait to see the better pics

I hoe to have new pics with my shitty camera...tomorrow after it gets plated!

i'll be sitting here waiting...

looks nice.

Congrats and good luck with it. Little pic looks clean and in good shape. That model has a nice, clean, simple body style and with that hardware you list it should be a blast to drive.

Does it run on unleaded regular or just high test?

looks pretty cool, paint looks updated, I bet she hauls azz

Hey Pain, are we gonna be seeing that hot rod in Rochester?

From what I've heard ... yes :D

Runs on regular.....thx god for that!

Its a blast to drive, also found out after getting it to the shop that she's got possi-track rear end, I left some rubber down!

P.S. The rear wheels are 295's:D (really wide)

Ya she will be there!




Note: Didn't get any pics taken yet, she is still at the shop waiting for a safety!

Looks like a lot of fun - Congratulations on the purchase! I bet it goes like the clappers too, i really like the clean lines of it. Pity we don't see more old chevs here in Aus.

I guess wednesday might be the latest to get pics of it!


EDIT:
Well bad news today the starter s fired (I hope), but it might be the flywheel and please let it not be that, I don;t feel like dropping the exhaust and trans. And I gotta drop th exhuast because its a "H" pipe:(

Thats one thing that piss's me off is having to roll around on the ground under a new car before I even get to really brake it in.

very very nice G-body. :thumbsup:

Nice ride, looks like a good keeper, make sure you properly shim the starter, chevy's can be really finicky when it comes to starters.

I think the starter is fried, but I hope its just the starter and not the flywheel also :hmm:


but besides the starter problem all I need is a make shift horn to pass safty (Had a custom one in it when I bought it)

Update
 

Sorry still not pics because this whole time it has been locked up in a shop!.

But finally got it up on the hoist to get a look at the underneath of it!
it needs some work:

- U-joints
- Starter(headers cooked it)
- Rear brake calaipers(sp)
- Rear brake shoes
- Fuel pump (leaking)
- Rear shocks are starting to get bad but not leaking.....yet!


So ya it needs some work but when she is done look out:D

Finally
 

Got some pics not the best, but my webcam isn't meant to be a camera:)

That is a nice car Pain Train :thumbsup:

Nice! how about some pics of the engine.

knew I forgot a shot...its dark now maybe tomorrow....or when im not working! :lol:

Rear calipers on a 1981 Malibu? Did someone do a conversion on the back end for that?

That's a sharp car, though. Have fun with it...don't get too many tickets with it!

No there are drums on the rear....

Then I'd bet you don't need rear calipers, do ya? :p Probably the rear wheel cylinders are out of it, 'eh? Those can either be a pain, or really easy. I've had 'em go both ways. Hopefully, yours are easy.

Oh that was my mistake...I had them fixed.....


On a side note sunday night I opened her up...and WOW is all I can say she is got power, just gotta get smaller tires that I can burn the crap out of!
