This is awesome Chris!

More details please, motor? Transmission? Diff? I hope it gets complied ok.

 

How exciting

 

Edit.

@CUL8R come on mate.

I see big block headers.

[RUNAMUCK]

I hope you'll finish the chevette first? 

[CUL8R]

So the car was originally a Malibu - SBC 10 Bolt & Th350 Auto. Built in Kansas City Missouri 

Now it has a Rebuilt 402 BBC, 12 Bolt Diff with 3:73 Gears.

New Fuel tank & Carter Electric pump, New Boot Lid. New Floor Pan & Boot floor, and rear quarters - all will need some fettling to get up to NZ compliance standard.

I have inner fenders waiting at Kiwi Shipping - with a ever growing pile of parts..

badass ride, good knowing that you were mostly only going to be dealing with new steel (floors etc) rather than random old repairs, good score

tough looking car!

 

Lockdown garage skids?  

[j.e.d.]

Very very nice

[CUL8R]

No lockdown skids Im afraid. Need to fit new body mounts so the trans clears the tunnel (and then I can fit the shifter)

I got a set airfreighted over but left them at work on the day lockdown was announced 

[Mr.Mk1]

Got those mounts in yet cob?

[CUL8R]

Yea got the mounts in - wasn't anywhere near as scary as I suspected, didn't solve my shifter problem. 

It was missing 4 of the Mid Mounts. One front body mount is rusted away - which I knew about and needs to be fixed for repair cert.

Im guessing its actually a repro stamping issue. Have some bucket seat floor brackets that should've left on Monday after being out of stock for a couple months, so once those arrive I can weld them in and then be able to re-fit the seats.
