this thing...

i bought a house late last year and the car became very impractical. i was paying to much and couldnt do half the projects around the house that i wanted to. so i went back to my old redneck ways and picked this thing up

1995 4.3l, 5 speed, 2wd s10
its about as fast as a turtle. but it is rust free from texas and supposedly only has 110k on it. it needs an axle because 3.08 gears suck dick, and a lot of other small stuff like interior plastic and exhaust.
this past weekend i got a ricey grant steering wheel. already installed, stock one was fall apart and this was $35. may dye the red later

next i received my wheels so i had to test fit. they should be mounted this friday

then i did some cutting and installed my rear blocks. just a heads up, sawzalls suck for cutting through coils

so now the truck is lowered 2/3. front appears a bit higher so i may cut another half coil and go 3/3 this weekend. im just waiting to mount wheels so i can more easily measure the gap to top of fender.

i do have plans to go lower in the future, thinking somewhere around 4/5 on 17 or 18's
