Hello,
Been a member here for a long time and occasionally made some shorter posts.
I am making this thread in order to keep track of my progress and keep myself motivated, and perhaps get some good ideas if someone gets interested along the way.
The car is a 1965 Malibu 4-door, which had been sitting for roughly 30 years disassembled when I bought it. Most parts were available, but the body is pretty badly rusted and some poor welding jobs (and hammering) have been done throughout its history.
This is what the car looked like after bringing it home:
Disassembled the car and took the body off the frame. Some sandblasting until the weather did not allow any longer before rolling it in when fall came.
Started with fixing some of the floor:
After initially just wanting to get it on the road, the idea of the whole car changed to actually turn it into a 2-door hardtop, since they are pretty expensive and difficult to come by where I am from. Will anyhow need to buy new quarter panels and wheel tubs since they are badly rusted. I did make an attempt to make new wheel tubs on the left side which can be seen in some later images, but these I am not too happy with.
