updating price to 3,100$USD, Rig was Free, All that money is in parts and tooling for restoration, im way under adjusted inflation MSRP so im in the green still though i said it would be 3000 completed...

 

got the headlights fixed lol they fix correct now. 130k miles now and loving it!!!!

 

Far too much for my means,
In the $ 3000 on average I would say
I would say around 3000 euros
1000 for purchase (plates and taxecs included)
1000 for gasoline
300 for insurance
700 for repairs, see 200 or 300 more.

 

Our Blazers are getting old and worn out. I'm trying to keep mine on the road as long as I can so I can save up for a replacement SUV.

 

I bought Saphire for $2500. Thought I only needed a power steering pump and new wheels (had crap ghetto small wheels on). Well $500 for all new tires. And $100 for the wheels from the local junk place. The dealer paid for the $75 power steering pump. But come to find out All the front end was shot. Both tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm, and then the upper control arm bushings. That all took around another $150. Add $18 for a set of shims to redo my alignment. I got a driver mirror as part of a $20 pick a part bucket sale along with the passenger bearing hub (lucky). And $20 for an upper radiator hose. This also doesn't count the radio swap or the 3 oil changes and replaced the water intake neck with one I had in the shed. Those damn things like to rot away inside.

And I still have to replace the steering gear box. But not sure if I will if it's going to last long enough to be worth it.

 

Hello everybody

Spending money on my jimmy is keep increasing .

What about you guys ?

 

Just putting in a new to me transmission lol... so less and less original parts left lol...

 

So far still much cheaper than a replacement!

 

I am came back to the forum again after long time.

Is there anyone who spends more money on the Blazer or not ?

 

Other than having to get my transmission rebuilt, my costs are mostly the typical consumables, e.g., gear oil, engine oil, brake pads, etc.
