This is my 1978 Chevrolet Malibu.

BEFORE AFTER

It was purchased last year around May or so. The car was in decent condition it had a worn down 305 in it and it also had the very week Turbo 200 Transmissio. When we got the car home this is what it looked like. All original and Stock with 113,xxx on the clock

It was my father and i's goal to turn this into a respectable show car as well as a cruiser that you could put the miles on and drive everywhere. The Interior didn't really exist. The floor was bare metal. The Headliner was being help up by tackpins and the steering wheel was old and crusty.

The car then went under the knife getting a brand new crate 350, brand new Turbo 350 Transmission and Brand new Dual Exhaust all the way behind the headers.
