my new daily driver.....for now

so the time came to either dump a bunch of money into my s10 blazer to keep it on the road, or find something new to drive.

95 rms
i bought it in ct, and its sitting at my brothers house until i can get down there to pick it up.
took a few pics once we got back to my brothers house.

Nice find Anthony, spotted that when he first listed. Looks like a nice car at a good price.

Don't let him fool you guys.... This is his green 91 Caprice......HIGHLY modified!

Looking good man! Glad to have you back with a B.

Very nice, no vinyl top either. I dig the beige stepside in the background!

I kept watching that car and told myself it was probably a rot box. Apparently it isnt. Nice score man.   

Sweet purchase!

Any plans or just a driver?

SCORE  

Very nice.  Looks like the smooth roof I had. 

Whats up with the blazer? I have a plan.  

And why can we never see the Suburban? 

Are you looking for a caprice to mate with it now?

^ see Anthony! Told ya!   

(I text him the day he picked it up: "hey now you need a caprice nose for it") lol

Thank you for buying it, I'd been tempted to call that guy since it was listed   
Out of curiosity, what kind of shape was it in rust wise?

thanks guys.

overall the car is in decent shape.
somebody did a half ass quick fix on the lower rear quarters, should be an easy fix.
there is a little spot on the drivers side wheel well in the trunk where it meets the floor.
and the lower b pillars are bubbling.
nothing that made me want to run for the hills when i saw it.
but i do have a welder, and have done many rust repair jobs before, so maybe im just numb to it... idk

no highly modifying this one.....yet...maybe...no
no caprice nose... the swap looks better the other way, imo

plans for the car?
i dont know yet
bought it as a daily driver, for now
prob do all the cheap/free mods
id like to put a set of ss wheels on it
maybe something with the exhaust

but im really happy with the car
gave the guy $850 for it
took the day off today and went to my brothers house and got the car.
drives nice and smooth, made the 2hr ride no problems

the suburban?
prob be another week or two as long as my free time doesnt get hijacked again.
ill post up some pics as soon as its out of the garage

the blazer?
prob list it on cl for $500obo
if it doesnt sell in a week prob call a scrap yard see if i can get a few hundred for it.
for me to of been happy and know its safe with the kids riding in it, it needs around $1000 worth of parts

Dude that looks great! and the price is right. Topless RMS looks so much better than the vinyl halftop.

What color is that?

...  ...  

Nice combo for sure

so been drivin the car for a couple weeks now, and LOVIN IT!!!
averaging around 24mpg.
washed it a handful of times, changed the oil, put a sewer pipe intake on, and tinted the windows. thats it for a bit.
heres a few pics i took on the way home from the store the other day.

Very nice. Love the color, and the fact it is a smooth roof. Needs some wheels.   

Forget the wheels........needs a few bags of sand in the trunk!! Is that from the air shocks or do all RMS's have that rake going on?

First lt-1 right?? Must be loving that power too eh??

Looks awesome dude! Great work cleaning it up.

Damn it looks good! LMK when you want to sell it   

That's a classy looking machine right there, I dig it   

Looking good Ant! Let me know if you need some RMS specific parts, parting out the 96.

I'm looking for 4 door courtesy lights from an RMS

its the rear shocks, doesnt matter how much weight you put in it, it pumps back up to the same height.
yep first lt1, it goes pretty good.
