Blazer restoration potential project
After looking around for a while i found an aging blazer which i am going to see as the price is well within my starting budget. I am more familiar with boat restoration but have been looking forward to start a 4x4 project.
The car would be mostly used for hauling the boat and for pulling / dropping it in the water as well as boat related operation (Hauling parts / fuel etc,) and general off-roading in the desert. I am in no rush and i do understand the cost element hence me taking it nice and slow, i need to keep my mind busy so restorations does help me keep my mind at bay. I am in Egypt and luckily i found a lot of people who can help in various parts of the restoration (interior, engine etc.) so i am confident i can find help when i need too, but i always like to start seeking advice from people who have gone down this path. Here are some pics of the car (with major rust issue it seems) i will go see the car and see where this leads me. Thanks in advance for keying in your wisdom and i hope i can benefit from every one here and end up with a car to use for many years to come. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...cb2b5ae77.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...1fd0e0a60.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...eb327641b.jpeg |

The only concern is the size of the boat you will be hauling vs the size engine. Other than that go for it and welcome to the forum. Now I just need to find a square body myself to restore. Have a 2nd gen ZR2 but would love a square body.
