My 83 trailblazer restore/mod
 

Not sure if this is the right spot please move if needed.

Well I already posted some pics here and there but I figure I should start a build/restore thread.

Mine is a 83 Trailblazer with 122+k miles(the tenths count off but nothing else) Everything works great minus the A/C, which will be the first thing I get fixed due to living in florida. Ive already started taking care of the rust though I need to find some one local that can do good body work to get rid of the bad spots. Here are some pics of when I got it home and then once I got done with the sanding/primer.

The only bad rust is in the driver side rear quarter, and its really not that bad. Just need to find a good body guy to fix it correctly, I dont want to cheap out and go all bondo.

looks like a nice find. Not much rust at all. Do you have any idea as to what color you will be painting it or you just going back oringinal

Drooooooooooooooooool :p

was thinking silver or burnt orange, leaning more toward BO.

Very Nice Trailblazer. Youre doing a beautiful thing by restoring this thing and keeping it in great shape.

Keep up the great work

as stated in the thread topic, its a trailblazer, one of the 3 Pre4runners, the trekker was from winnebago i believe. As for the trailblazer and wolverene (i think), no clue as to who made those


not being an a$$ just correcting

im sorry excuse me.

lol saw you corrected that
like i said
just spreading a little knowledge.
:)

but like you said
it is very nice

I know griffin(sp) made the trailblazer, I have heard of the wolverene but have never seen one and dont know anyone that has.

Trekker or Trailblazer, whatever. I've never seen one. It looks like you have a fun project on your hands. I'm assuming it runs well?

it runs great, starts everytime.

GREAT LOOKING RIG!! Hope to see it when you finish it!

Still tryin to find someone to do the body work. So far i have been turned down by 2-3 body shops, they say its not worth the trouble cause it will just rust again

Well due to lack of money this thing is up for grabs......check the for sale section
