JNells Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Short update here, haven't had much time to actually work on the car other than regular maintenance and fixing little broken stuff along the way... My baby Bu is getting up there in age, she'll be 10 this year... Time for her to nickel and dime me to death lol! Anyway as I've been saying I've been collecting equipment, thoroughly planning the build out and design out.. Trying to get an overall gameplan together before even starting..

JNells Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Well the time has come to start this thing... Had a few minor set backs as of late.. Mainly fuel pump shitting the bed... $800 later. Anyway, gonna start the tear down and mock up stage over Christmas/new year break since I will have a few days off in a row. Here's a short video of probably the last time I will have sounds for awhile.. Just the mids/highs speakers, still bass-less Malibu Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNells Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Ouchhhhh... that is an unexpected setback.. just keep at it bro!Definitely.. Not gonna let a little ol fuel pump hold me back haha. Picking up 3-4 sheets of 3/4" birch this weekend, and planning on taking some of my days off during the holidays to get some work started. I also found out I get 2 weeks off work in February and so I will most likely plan the majority of my build for that time. (With little weekend tear downs, mock ups, and projects along the way) I know I've been talking about this rebuild for awhile and it sucks not having the time to really dive in, but it's coming, slowly but surely... And as a side note, all the time I've put in at work has paid off with a promotion, raise, and bonus.. So putting off this rebuild has not gone in vain Malibu Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks buddy, and the same to you, hope the holidays have treated you well. As for updates, my weekend project was suddenly and abruptly sidetracked when I discovered 3inches of standing water in my spare tire well (a literal pool)!!! Soooo the better part of the day was spent tearing up deadener and trying to find the culprit... (Which I have yet to pinpoint, couple leads, but no end all be all) And as a side note, anyone who says FatMat doesn't stick well and falls off, can go F themselves, I have a whole trunk that says otherwise... Lol Malibu Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
