had a good laugh while readin this mate, good work using it as a training vehicle to hone ur skills...inspiring me to do something similar cos I have bugger all mechanical skills, seems like it'd be lots of fun to just dice up a car and put it all back together again bigger n better* (not beater)...on the cheap

Yeah its pretty much perfect for learning, screw something up meh its a pos anyways and replacement bits are cheap as dirt. Its always got something to try and fix, so its good for filling in the boring weekends when you got nothing better to do except poke around in the shed. I get a kick out of it anyways lol

Pfft boat anchor, this bad boy would pull the boat down with it

Dunno if "tidy" is the word for it haha but its definitely come a long way from what is was!
A 2JZ RWD conversion would be wicked, any RWD would be. Ive heard they made an AWD version in japan, would love to convert it to one of those with a Mazda BPT!!


Little update, new engine is in. Runs really good and this one does not blow any smoke or rattle or make any bad noises lol. I bought some NOS lights off ebay really cheap ($20 inc postage) so its now sporting a larey new rear end, ill take some pics one day
All it needs now is Brake hoses and rear shockies, and maybe a grill of some sort.
and then maybe, just maybe, Blazer shall see the open road once more.

Got my hands on a new front clip, in average condition so it suits the rest of the car, new headlight as well.

And i had a go at making some door trims, turned out ok? A little bland but better then nothing

And some cheap tail lights i got my hands on:

My mates all want to paint it red and put a big mustache and M symbol on the bonnet and name it Mario, i dunno yet. The paint is currently the last concern!

Bit the bullet as i found some shocks on super special, so i have now fitted the new rear end and shocks, i replaced the brake lines, rear wheel cylinders and shoes while i was there.
Also found some cheap ball joints on ebay so now the front end is all right to go, i did the front brake lines as well.
It now sits higher in the rear thanks to the meteor springs.

My neighbor has also given me some mags that fit but the center is too big so all the weight is on the studs when you fit them so ill see if i can find some inserts to suit.

Took a pic of the new engine, heres a before and after shot:

Before and after of the interior:

And i finally got around to spraying over the big 7 on the side.

So what im thinking of doing is registering it while im doing the engine conversion on the VK so i can still get to work and get around and then after see if its worthwhile keeping on the road or not.
