Hopefully over next few weeks I can:
swap out rad support with modded one for forward mount rad
install tranny cooler
intreprid fans
maybe swap fenders & inners
work on making a proper cai setup
(waiting on summit for) coil, cap, rotor, plugs, wires to finally change those
I am using SMD's on the side markers, so not a huge room issue.
I was just hoping that the amber lense would be seperate from the housing LOL.... But its not.
Not sure how its held on, but it was 61 degrees today, would rather bbq than work on LED lighting haha.

Default Rear wiper motor

I tried to pull off the old wiper motor and install one that I got from the wreckers on Saturday. Removal went ok Install..not so much. The shaft running from the motor to the wiper(vertical shaft is seized and will not move(on the wreckers bought one). Removed it and will return it when they open tomorrow.

regards

Completely redid almost every working part associated with the ac. The ac compressor, new lines,condensor, evaporator core and the dryer. I have a 1989 2 door and the amazing thing is the original compressor still worked, it was just wore out to the point it wouldn't cool past 75-80 degrees. I also tore off every bit of plastic trim molding getting it ready for the paint shop. It's at the mechanic now getting the ac charged and adding Freon and finishing up some minor details on the brakes that I couldn't do with just one arm. (had surgery Late February and I'm still in a cast). After that it's off to the paint shop then all the fun begins.

the DIC is a Driver Information Center it is what came in the higher end versions of the blazer and s-10 most came with a temp/compass only (it'll have us/metric and on/off) the DIC has us/metric and a Mode button and will have alot more info like mpg, distance remaining, fuel used and so on it also has the temp/compass !!!!

Replaced the heater core hoses and clamps. Cleaned out the throttle body. Checked the fluid levels.
