Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Not sure who gets to claim this present.....

Me for my birthday, or the Blazer because it continues to not be a Project.

Another Ł48.00 invested in making it even better.



Will fit it over the weekend and take it for a drive then, not sure one would feel any difference or even notice it, but like so many of the service parts I have fitted so far, they just improve the truck and probably should have been done long ago.

Later.

A couple coat's of hand rubbed butter wax will do her well. And that new air cleaner too!

Woke at 04.00

That was my night.

Chatted with Stas in Siberia on WhatsApp as the parcel I posted out 9 days ago, had been delivered

Was waiting for the sun to come upside that I could go fit the chrome birthday cake.

Lovely it was too.

0’C outside with a brisk breeze.



Cool new part to fit.



In sleeping shorts and a single hoody, it was not pleasant

Then found the old base plate fitted well.



Errrrmmm...

New one did not fit.



Fouled by the carb.



Poooop !!

So I called USAutomotive and ordered a 1/2 inch spacer.

While at it, I ordered a new PC Valve.



Delivery next week.

So that ended my planned messing with the truck pronto.
