My next priority is to put inner and outer grill on with bumper and clean it up. Outside body still needs some love but I think it will show well enough to leave like this for another year until I can save to paint whole thing.

Ridnhi · 02-24-2016, 10:47 PM

Going to work on getting the tint off. I think it will help the looks a lot. It's hard to tell in picture it it has turned purple.

**richard2717** · 02-24-2016, 11:22 PM

Looking nice. Glad you got it back and can enjoy.

Ridnhi · 03-02-2016, 01:02 AM

All the tint is gone! Took me 4 hours with a really good razor blade. I like it much better.

Ridnhi · 03-02-2016, 01:06 AM

OEM set of door panels all cleaned up and ready for install. They aren't perfect but they still look really good. I have to install outside mirrors and then they will go on. Does anyone have a good tip for installing the outside mirrors by yourself? I have brand new ones and I am having the worst time trying to put them on alone.

I took 2 long bolts and cut the heads off, so that I could use them as studs. I screwed them into the reinforcing plate about 1/4", and fed them through the mounting holes from inside the door. I put some dabs of Right Stuff sealer on the plates before installing them so that in the future the plates would stay in location should I ever have to remove the mirrors.
With the 2 studs sticking through, it's just a matter of carefully mounting the mirror and gasket by first bolting the mirror in the 3rd hole that has no stud sticking through, then the other 2 bolts one at a time. Just make sure you do this before the sealant has time to cure.

New steering wheel on. I really like it.

Ridnhi · 06-16-2016, 01:38 AM

Got the grill in and bumper on. I have head light trim rings to put on still.

**richard2717** · 06-16-2016, 07:03 AM

Looking good. Love the green!

Ridnhi · 06-20-2017, 12:49 AM

Ok so I am going to try and post a little more. I have a 4yr old and a 22 month old that think my blazer is the coolest thing they have ever seen. I have been driving it a little more lately and I hope to keep tackling the to do list on it. Here's a cool shirt my wife had made for me.

**lks dcvn** · 06-20-2017, 11:38 AM

Nice shirt - where did you find the dash pad? Looking for one in a similar color...
