Well.
This Blazer sales negotiation started on 4th August with a hit via FB Messenger from Matthew.
“Hi Bud, is your Blazer still for sale?”
“I need it for a movie.”
He used to own a 4x4 Blazer before.
This one seen at Wheels Day this year.
So yesterday at 11.57 I went out to start the Blazer and move it out onto the middle of my drive because he was coming to look at it having said on the phone he was going to buy it.
Tucked into the tight alley .
FFS !!!!
Blipping the throttle to push a bit of fuel into the carburettor for starting it, the gas pedal just dropped flat.
BUGGGERRR....!!!
Why would they fit a plastic Ferrule to a throttle cable??
Anyway, more importantly, WTF do I do now? Viewing booked for three minutes hence which is not a problem because I expect him to be ten or fifteen minutes late anyway based on the last three weeks worth
Bodgetastic !!
Old door lock and hacksaw to the rescue.
.
“New part” made up.
Got back to the Blazer from the garage and viewer was there. Ooopps.
Explained what happened and proceeded to disappear under the dash for 3 minutes.
Fitted and ducktape added for extra security.
His dad had come along to look as well.
So started the Blazer up, he hopped in and we drove a mile down the road by which time he said, its all good let’s go back and do the paperwork.
Parked up
Inside.
Cash transfered.
V5c completed.
Posted out.
So the Blazer has gone to its new life in the movies.
Look out for it coming back looking a bit like this.
Buyer has agreed to send me some photos of it once its done up and the movie breaks cover.
No idea what may be next.
Watch this space.
