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

Earlier this week a big or important part of the “build” arrived in the post.

Microphone for the Bluetooth telephone system and radio.

Will get fitted as soon as there is a bit of decent weather and time.



More than to happen.


Been a bit of a hectic week.

But at least today, despite a load of stuff to get done at home, also delivered a bit of action in the Galaxy.

Took it in to Just Tyres to see if the Mercedes Benz wheels would fit, using the longer Vito van bolts.

Before

Really tall.



Fitted, and though not settled once off the jack, it is still too high.

I think some lowering is in order.



Tyres then removed from the wheels and tossed in the rear.

I will go back for some new tyres to be fitted once I have refurbished the wheels.

Sally took a pic facing rearward.



Went home via some shops and then to Tool Station to pick up two cans each of Etch primer, silver paint and clear lacquer

All for £33.00

As this quote from a friend in the USA reads.

I started with a $750.00 banger and spent $1000’s on it.



And the wheels with some of the damage visible.



Looking forward to this.


Rain just needs to stop.
