New Old daily driver

So I bought my old daily driver back from my Ex.

She really beat it up. smashed into a merc. mulitple componets in the vehicle didnt work. and LOTS of things were half assed. Oh yeah and it was FILTHY!

Well Ill just let the pics speak for themselves!




This picture doesnt do justice of just how disgusting the interior was. At night you couldnt see out of th windshield because there was a layer of yellow cigerette sludge on the inside. There was makeup all over the steering wheel and gear selector (i guess it was on her hands?) and there were ashes and cig wrappers everywhere. Just nasty.

Went to the junk yard and pulled some mint parts off an S10...

Ripped it down to, and replace the core support. I figured if Im going to do it, I wanted to do it right! So I replaced EVERYthing on the front end that was in ANYWAY touched by the accident.

Everything loosely hung and grille painted.

Front clip painted and rust repaired in the quarters.

Woman cleaning like she should be. And happy doing it.


Masked off! (3m masking tape is FRIGGEN expensive....) I used textured Herculiner roll on bed coating. This stuff is nice. Ive used it on another one of my S10's and I had a good experience with it. So I tried it again. I think it came out great! I also like that its shiney... A lot of the other bed coatings are dull or flat!


FINISHED! Officialy 100% done daily driver! All the bugs are worked out... The truck drives like a dream. And all the mechanicals are rock solid! Glad you guys all swayed me to keep the truck Thanks guys.





Oh yeah and the new PIAA's 390 watts

I have flares for it. Didn't put them on yet. Zr2 flares are too big though. The ones I have are a little more subtle.

It's a donor car for a gn project.

Is that a legit ZR2 or a 2dr Blazer with a lift? I had a 95 4dr Blazer and I loved that thing. Good work on her.

2dr blazer with a lift. It is NOT a ZR2.

Were you on rt17 north around hasbrook heights at all last week and a silver c5 z06 pulled up next to you? Your TA looks familiar. My pops shot a video of a Z06 and caught the tail end of a TA in the vid.
