1978 Chevrolet Malibu classic estate review from Netherlands

I was tipped of by a friend who lives across the previous owner of the car.

I bought it intentionally as a parts car.

When I got the car, it had been sitting in a barn for about 10 years;

all rubber hoses were gone.

The cassis was rusted through at the rear end (because of winter salt on the roads)

I replaced the rear end of the chassis with a rear end chassis of a '85 oldsmobile coupe, wich I altered to wagon specifications.

Fuel tank leaked and I replaced it.

At the moment, the engine makes a lot of valve train noise.

The car has a very nice ride, and the transmission shifts very smooth.

Interior is as new, except for the headliner; it has come loose.

The outside has a very nice look with the woodgrain estate package.
