Well, i did search their website and at the very bottom in small letters there is a "forms" link. It says."
Your old engine core must be in a rebuildable condition or there will be an additional charge. " and there's a line at the bottom to sign at. Thing is, i never recall signing a sheet like that.

So ive been super busy with school and other stuff that i havent had time to fill you guys in on my system. And other stuff..
Well about a month ago my uncle gave me a Kicker CVR and a Planet Audio TQ1201.1. The amp puts out 900w at 1 ohm so i thought, Damn that would be perfect on 4 duals!!!! LOL, so i went out and built me a couple boxes. Each one is 3ft^3 tuned to 36hz w/ 46in^2 of port. Got it all put in and man does it sound good for 120 bucks worth of subs and wood!
Here's a pic of my blazer the day before graduation all cleaned up. later that night all my neighbors wrote on my windows and it was pretty funny. Drove around for 2 weeks getting funny looks and what not. Funny though, it seemed like everyone would get out of my way though, like they though i was trying to get to graduation or something
And then.. Thursday June 21 2012, around 6 o'clock. I was heading down highway 249, following my friend to a shop for a little car meet. He was about 100 feet in front of me and he turned left into the parking lot. I followed him but as soon as i turned out of the turning lane i heard screeching tires, i looked up and saw this explorer sliding towards me and BOOM.. We got out and we were both fine. He immediatly said that he didnt have a licence and blah blah blah... his truck could drive off the road but mine had to get towed. The people that owned the shop were out there and they were like, man yall shouldnt call the cops, well get this cleaned up. I was just freakin out cuz everything was happening so fast so i called my dad and he was on his way. They towed my truck behing the shop and moved the other guys behind the shop too. They had a broom and John Doe started sweeping up the debris off the highway. Me and the guy exchanged info and he said that he didnt have a licence, he wasnt from this state and that the truck was his girlfriends. So we waited a bit and my dad showed up and talked to everyone a bit and called dispatch. Then the guys like, man i live right over here im just gonna walk home.. and a few minutes later he just wandered off. The cops showed up and we told him the story, and showed him the vehicles. He said that he couldnt fill out an accident report because both parties were not present. He said that i could have gotten a ticket for not yeilding which is understandeable and the other guy could have gotten a ticket for driving without a licence. But the officer said he would have given me a warning. So we called our insurance and told them. I only have liability so they didnt do anything for my truck. We got it towed home and its just sitting. Now the insurance called and said that the guy is claiming a neck injury, WTF.. The guy seemed fine and said he was good too. He kinda looked like he could have been under the influence of something. So maybe he was so messed up to feel anything idk. I told them if he goes to the doctor tell him to take a drug test too..
Heres a pic of the damage.
I found another blazer on c-list. 1997, all black with grey interior. Motor is got a knock in it, interior is filthy, front and back bumper are bent up. It was put up at 1500, got it for 1100. Plan on swapping the engine, trans, radiator, and the entire interior. I have 3 months till i go to wyoming, hopefully i can get it done!!

Havent heard much from the insurance. Im sure that dude wised up and figured he couldnt get ****.
So I havent started on the resurrection yet. First I need to clean the **** out of my garage! I havent had the chance to do much because of all the rain we've been getting in houston. Just this morning we got 5 inches in 3 hours! My garage is so full of **** that i cant clean it unless i can get stuff out onto the driveway. Ill post a pic up tomorrow.
My plan is to swap EVERYTHING! Engine, trans, rear end, Interior, ect. I also plan on sending my ECU in for a flash, i dont know whether to go with pcm4less or wait4me, any opinions? Plus i might try to find a rear end with a locker and disc brakes, how hard do yall think the swap will be?
