Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Still trying to catch back up to real time.

Only 16 hours behind now.





Getting some tidying up done was high on the agenda.

Found some interesting “details” in the design and build.

Can you see it?



I also removed most of the original radio and interior light, rear view mirror mess.

Need to try get these two parallel bars out as well, Bill whacked his head on them twice, I am still due to do it.



Also removed most of the seatbelts and mounts from the rear, and despite the bloody long bar, still could not get the roll bar shifted.

The seat belt cassettes are on the same mounts.

Will try again today when it warms up, and after the bleach job.



Certainly do not want or like this bull bar.

Heavy and unsightly, plus rusted through under plastic coating.

And if it is on a diet, this will help.




Some serious bolts keeping it all together.




Better?



Other side?



The moss stains were really resistant.



Last bit.



Anyone know what these lights are from?

Body and internals on this one rotted away completely, so need replacing.

I prefer to replace like for like.



Lens after cleaning out the rust stains. Certainly can be refitted.



Actually pleased that I could also do the whole engine bay, behind the grille, under the hood etc.











Does my butt look big in this?



From up high.




Not that there is any money, but yesterday’s Money Shot.

Some change so far.





So, now it is Sunday 9.25 and the next job is a coffee, walk around the Rezin Rockit for some silly grinning and dreaming.

Then get on with the bleach.

Followed by one more run with the pressure cleaner.





Anyone see hope?
