Default What I got done today

Well I started by removing my badly rusted leaking fuel neck and custom making my own while the rear end is off and it off my way due to suspension modifications I figured I would go ahead and knock that out

If the filler neck is that rusted and leaking you probably ought to check the gas tank itself. I know I would.

Not sure if you noticed, but your drivers door is sagging.

I would replace your door pins and bushings before it gets worse

Thanks for the heads up. The previous owner ( I'm the 3rd/7th A few auctions involved) welded the striker in place and the spring is AWOL !? Bushings are in order though !

I would guess the striker was welded because the door had to be slammed so many times from bad bushings, you may need some larger bushings.

Default New rear bumper

Decided to finally start working on the body of my 98 blazer. The front corner is smashed and the rear bumper is rusting out. Also the latch for the rear glass is gone and the defrost wire is broke. Found a parts truck on Craigslist. color was the same but an "LT" trim package when mine is the "LS". The bonus to that was the power driver's seat the was in the parts truck. So now I have a tinted back window redone solid bumper in the rear and bought updated tail lights off of eBay. I'm working on getting the before and after pics loaded will post them soon.
