Hello everyone,
I've already posted quite a few times, disregarding this, but I figure I might as well share!

I purchased a Blazer from a rather shady dealership, he wanted 4500$ for it
[1995 Four Door, Silver, S10 [B-Model Grill], Black Trim along the Bottom]
I talked him down to 3000$,
But it was still a mistake, I just wanted a blazer so bad.
It had about 140,000 Miles on it, the whole vehicle's insides are COATED in some odd dark matter,
Seems like cigarette tar. I'll post photos later, possibly.
I'm STILL trying to clean it, almost a year later.
The Engine needed Various Repairs,
The infamous Low-RPM rev/stall was one thing I needed fixed.
My Mechanic Denny put a small screen in the injection valve to keep the loose carbon from blocking it, and it runs just fine now,
Though the Service Engine Soon light is almost always on, after running for about 10 minutes.

It has a gray interior, stock everything besides the head unit.
The Front Speakers have NO WIRING at all in them, they were just plates with speaker covers over them.
[I want to install Tweeters there]
The Front Right Speaker (Door) Doesn't work for god knows what reason...

Ehhh... I can't really think of any other details, besides the fact that it needs at least 5 more hours of scrub-down with fantastik and armor-all,
And I need to vacuum and shampoo all the carpets, as well as the headliner because it smells funny and is dirty.

I plan on putting the 95 -> 98+ frontend conversion kit in it.
I currently have a small 2x120 Watt amp sitting in the back, with a small 1 x 15", 2 x 3"  Truck Sub.
I have 4 speakers that I WISH I could install besides my two tweeters, they're all somewhere between 4 - 7" Oval...

I don't know much about vehicles, but I'd really like to get into them :)

Thanks everyone :)
It's nice to see a friendly forum who welcomes their new members, instead of shaming them for not having as much experience!
I look forward to posting, learning, and hopefully some day helping others!


Thanks again :)
