R.I.P. My 1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer. Died going eastbound on I-20 heading for college, blown engine. It was very hard to let her go especially since that truck was my first car. Traded the old girl in for a 2011 Ford Ranger. Cried when I learned she was going to the junkyard, couldn't watch that tow truck haul her away.

Aw, that sucks... Why didn't you just rebuild the engine?

I live in Texas but I have college in Louisiana. It was too far to take her home.

I see, but I still would have done everything in my power. That was a nice Blazer.

Also I'm not sure if taking her home would've done any good because the engine was too badly damaged to repair it.

You could have always found a different motor. They're not that expensive these days.

Found an original door for the GTO at a swap meet. No rot, one easy to fix dent. Now I can replace one of my two doors that is completely rotted out.

What year is your GTO again? Did you get a pretty good deal on the door?

Pretty much finished. So there. Another thing to tick off my 'to do list'.
There's a blog that's been following the progress of the build at http://rgshwcaterhamproject.wordpress.com, which btw is written by me...when I can be bothered.

See that headlight on the right? That was my contribution to the car. :)

That and keeping bolts in pockets...we always check your boiler suit first, now.

My little daily driver here. Although I am about to sell it, it has been a pretty good car for me.

I'm not sure what car is that, but it's absolutely beautiful.

Thanks Jonzu. It's a 2007 Hyundai believe it or not.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #315 on:** May 22, 2013, 03:05:58 PM »

I do believe. Looks epic. Would definetly drive a car like that.

When I first drove it I never believed I would actually buy it, but here I am. Thanks though, it really is a good looking car. As much as I like it though I cant wait to go pick my Subaru Impreza STI.

My new truck. Hopefully this one lasts longer than the last one did.

Hopefully you don't crash it in the ice.

Meanwhile, I have my first car:
