And here I am. I'm a long-term resident in the D.R. from the U.S. (Fla).
I wanted a Blazer for years and found a great guy who had one who decided to let it go.
Bodywise it is in excellent condition even though it was involved in some sort of minor accident at some point. (the left front inner fender has been changed and the radiator mounting panel has a slight dent).
As a precaution, I've replaced most of the critical stuff underneath to make it dependable. It starts at the touch of a key and runs very well. Other than a Nardi wood steering wheel it looks stock.
I've got a slight issue with the gas gauge I'm trying to resolve. When full the needle is at 3 o'clock and it's empty at 11 o'clock. So - full is below the full marker and empty at the 3/4 tank marker.
Also, the trip odometer doesn't work, so I bought a really nice-looking gauge cluster to see if that resolves both issues.
Rough life, right?
