I agree with Firebirdjones on this one, by the time you're done with rusted sheet metal, new interior, new paint, lift, engine & tranny work, etc... you easily have $10-15k into our Blazers and thats not counting your labor. Heck even damn tires are expensive today! I'm all for bringing back a Blazer but the lesson is buy one that needs as little sheet metal work as possible, and do other mechanical things to it if needed, time is precious.
