What would you do with a free car? Heres what I did. (Pics and Vid)
Thursday, September 10, 2009 9:57 PM
So a few months ago my sister got a new car to replace her 1998 Chevy Blazer ZR2. We were talking on the phone one night and she mentioned that she was selling her blazer. I've always kind of liked the blazer and told her I may be interested in it. We started talking and eventually i ended up with the blazer. We never really talked about a price and when i finally asked her about it she told me I could just have it. I didnt feel right about that and i sent her a check. She called me to thank me and then told me she wasnt going to cash it. So, i have this Blazer that i picked up for free. It has 173xxx miles and runs like a champ. 4x4 works great too. Heres some pics I took today:










I had the day off of work today and I got pretty bored.... my neighbor had the day off too. We went to the store, i bought a monster and we went for a drive. On the way home he asked if I wanted to see if we could fit a bull bar from his expedition onto the blazer. I came up with a slightly different idea. And it started:




Then i busted a knuckle:




Then, some fun:










Lotsa glass:





Not Lotsa Glass:







Any Guesses as to whats about to happen?






Heres a hint........












Time for a convertible!








The point of no return:






My neighbor givin it some hell:





And Me:




Gettin there:
















And since the wife was/is pretty pissed about it, my other neighbor thought this may help:




Im not so sure.


Im thinking I am gonna need some kinda cage to gain back some of the structural integrity i just sawed off.


More pics tomorrow

I would be okay if the blazer appeared to be more beat to hell, but it actually looked decent other than the small amount of rust on the quaters. Ashame to see the ZR2 destroyed. Your call in the end though on it.

I like it. It's like a beefy tracker.





If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Too bad she didn't donate it to somebody who actually needed some transportation though. At least you didn't do what some douchebags who get free cars do and totally trash them doing ingorant stunts.

I personally would have tried to turn around and sell it and pay off some bills with it.

Sounds like you planned this well.

Honestly, I don't think you have to worry, since that has a frame under it, but it wouldn't hurt to reinforce it a bit.

I hope you finish this project correctly, as I think it's a cool idea. If you get a good seam around it and some weather stripping, it would be very cool to make a removable fiberglass top to put on it in unpleasant weather.

She told me she was glad that i was having fun with it. She ran into a big inheritance, thats part of the reason i got it for free.

You know, it was never for sale.

Actually, thats exactly what i did. At the time I had a Jeep Wrangler. I got the blazer, and sold the jeep for 1300 more than i bought it for. Also, i didnt owe anything on the jeep. I paid off a loan that i still owed $3400 on.

Heres some more pics:
