Hi @ all. My name is Thorsten and I want to show you my 2002 Blazer build.I bought the car April 2015 ´cause I needed a car that can tow a little bit more than my E200 Mercedes that I owend at that time, cause I wanted a car that can tow a trailer with my other project....a 1954 Lincoln.
On a german car selling internet portal I found after searching for some days a 2002 Blazer S10.

the car looks nice but needed some work, so I bought it and drove it home.

 

First thing at home..checking the car and writing down what kind of parts I need

the plan was to repair/renew damaged and old parts, taking in a LPG system, a trailer hitch and make it a little bit better looking

orderd LPG system

new parts that went into the Blazer were brakes, brakelines, shocks at the front, trailer hitch, wheel bearings and some more safety relevant parts. After some problems with my hydraulic ramp we moved the Blazer to my friends workshop and began the work...


first part was the LPG system

my buddy had some old 8x15 wheels in a corner of his workshop and we took a look if the they fit





after sandblasting and powdercoating



I orderd the new tires....no 30´s.....in Germany it is not so easy to get them street legal so i decided to order the original size 235/75 15 as MT´s







first test on the car without lift...but black paited widenings ;-)

 

next project in the project.....2Din stereo unit

Nice work so far, I got a little worried when you cut that much out of your dash but you finished it off nicely. You're probably going to get a bunch of people drooling over your flares soon lol.

 

a little bit more work under the car









LPG tank fits

 

I saw the thread title and came here to do just that!!!

Very nice work so far keep us updated as you go and keep the pics coming

 

playing with colour....





and plastidip (first test)

 

some stickers for advertising...and covering the scratches and bumps
