Finally got it

Dragged this one home a couple of months ago. Been after the guy for about 10 years to sell it to me.

Re: Finally got it

Looks a little rough, but they're getting hard to find in any condition. Congratulations.

Re: Finally got it

It’s got rust but I’ve seen a lot worse. Just couldn’t let it sit and rot completely away.

Re: Finally got it

Here’s what it looks like 3 months later. 4wd to 2wd thanks to parts from Polite’s Dead End Garage.

Wow!
Love any Blazer or Jimmy.
Especially the 2wd version.

From the outside it looks like a nice score if the price was right. Love the patina. 2WD isn’t my cup of tea but it’s great to see it getting its rightful resurrection! Good luck!

Being in Canada, I always assumed old vehicles were mint in the southern states.

Re: Finally got it

Mint means big money. For what I have in it and plan to do with it, it’s perfect.

We don't have salt and chemicals on the roads, but we have humidity.
