Hey My name is Dennis, every one calls me DJ. Just turning 23 in a month picked up my 1994 S10 Blazer 4x4 last summer with 110k miles. The guy wanted $3.5k but it didnt have a valid inspection so I said either get it inspected, or I'll give you $900 now, he took the offer luckily. Scammed me too though I don't know much about cars so my friend helps me wrench on it. almost $1,200 later it was street legal. It needed driver side body mount bushing, so we put performance bushings all around. Rebuilt the transmission and fixed the linkage, having it in park, meant it was in neutral , replaced the ball joints, alternator, radiator, brakes, calipers, rotors, Spark plugs were so bad I was AMAZED that they even fired, the spark plug wires were taped to the plugs...I wanted a project vehicle that I(and my friend CJ) can make my own and now onto what i plan to do...

New cowl hood
New bumpers (any one know where I can get ones that don't need those cheesy plastic covers?)
New tow hitch
3 to 6 inch drop
new rims
engine rebuild
killer sound system
Completely redo the interior, new carpet, reupholster back seat, new passenger/driver seats new gauge cluster, paint the dash and other plastic components
new brake/fuel lines
new gas tank, the one in it mostlikely has rust build up in it
new center console
Paint the frame with truck bed liner
patch the holes in the body and do a custom paint job
MAYBE lambo door hinges, not sure yet

Any ideas let me know

 

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you've got a ton of work ahead of you. Look forward to seeing how it comes out.

 

I can't wait either, this is the first car I've had I've been able to drive! My mother bought me an 87 dodge for my not so sweet 16, drove less then 100 feet hit a pot hole and the frame snapped in half between the bed and the cab Then she tried an 87 honda prelude, damn thing was so rotted we put it on the lift and the suspension puncxhed through the body

I had a choice between the newer body style blazers and the old body style...I'll leave my opinion of the body style out as its a little risque but i snagged the old body style because it looks a bit meaner and I think I'll have more fun working on it

 

Good luck man
