Wow....life sucks.

Did you see the Malibu that was up for auction in ACT this week? Looked to be original, although the soft top was slashed....

....might have been a fixer upper?

Regards,
Ray

Hi there, just saw this thread for the first time. Like most here, saw the car online, couldn't afford it. But had to bracing, it! 12 mths later I'm loving it as much as thr first. This is Rons old car (novice1).

It came with a few nice mods, bd rollbar and intake, front swaybar, exhaust, konis/kings and a set of rpf1, stubby antenna, taillights, chrome filler cap, tsi's and a decent stereo.

Today its slightly more modified with a turbo, 4.3 torsen, re-route, cams, lightened flywheel and hd clutch, nb8b brakes, cusco bracing, different wheels, mazdaspeed seats in white, mazdaspeed short shifter and knob/handbrake handle. im sureTheyred be more I can't think of.

Paint is in excellent condition, aside from the front bar which has quite a few chips, but it's done 210k now so I'm not surprised.

Here's a few pics of it.

Interesting observation....the mx5 Malibu gold is the only colour I have seen on Redbook that has it's own price range!

Possibly why I'm able to get a 12.5k value on mine through just car. Sad though, crashing and paying the small excess, buying back and parting would make thousands more than selling it.

Just finished repainting the Malibu. It's almost all back to stock. Colour looks a bit orange in the pics but it's good in real life

Why did you put it back to stock?

Recently bought a grey 93 Clubman which I am using the modifications on. I've grown jaded with all the attention the Malibu attracted in it's modified state, so I'm building something a little more low key. Hopefully I can loan the Malibu to my brother for awhile as I will have nowhere to keep both of them in the near future. Otherwise I may be forced to sell it.
