Default Blazer has come to its end

So my blazer finally kicked the bucket for me. Its had a blown head gasket for the last month or two and the starter finally gave out today. I'll be transitioning over to my XJ that I got last month. The blazer has supplied over a year of wheeling fun; I'll certainly miss its sporty look, the XJ's station wagon look is going to drive me a little batty until I get that lifted.

Nooooo!!!! That's betrayal! Your driving a jeep now and leaving the blazer to die?

But I understand where you're coming from. That is a $$$ repair. Maybe the blazer will magically repair itself. But if not, hope everything works out for ya and the jeep man!

The blazer ran a lot longer than I though it would with the blown head gasket. Made it at least through one oil change period

At certain angles it certainly can appear clean. But it has some deep scratches and dents from wheeling, drivers side mirror is broke off and got some nasty rust holes in front of the rear tires

I'm gonna try to sell the whole thing for parts. Hopefully someone will take it (after I grab the tires and stereo). If no one takes it as a whole within 2 weeks I'll probably start parting it out
