Aren't those a lot like the Ford Sierra Cosworths? Or Cossie as Top Gear would say.

I suggest you get some body panels from the Junkyard or www.LMCTruck.com

It looks like he put A LOT of effort into the interior first... and didn't really care about the exterior lol.


Oooo, I think a 98 Front End Conversion would look good too.

To be honest it looks like it has been in a front end wreck... Its definitely not supposed to be such a difference.

She's definitely had a hard life.

Well went to put a new corner cover on the bumper and the bumper is bent so most likely since i'll have to replace the bumper i'll either do a front end swap or just have new off road bumper made for it

That's what I was thinking.. lol. That interior is awesome. The exterior though.. ehhhh. Might be worth a shot to go look over at LMC Truck and order one of their catalogs. Like CBC said.. one of the newer front end conversions would look good. Specifically the ones with the stacked lights and not the single headlight.

EDIT: I forgot to mention I live down by Marion

Or heck, even just a conversion to the 4 door front end. That recessed headlight thing is killing me lol. Works for the 80s Camaros, but not the Blazer lol.

So I guess it had been in a wreck. You can always do both lol.
