look what i just bought...

1994 Chevrolet S-10
Regular-Cab
Short-Bed
Automatic
2.2L
A/C
P/S
ABS
141023 miles
tires are 8 months old

the A/C was only blowing out of the floor and the starter was screeching when i bought it. it was also very dirty


i half-shimmed the starter...1/2 hour, no parts needed...no more screeching!!

i traced vacuum lines and found one to be missing...4" hose cost me $.26...A/C works just fine now!!

i washed it and soaked the inside down with Simple-Green...looks 10 times better!!



heres what i bought for $400.00!!

Re: look what i just bought...

OMG!!! I soooo wish I could find find an S10 for $400! I had a 98 before I sold it to buy my civic. Worst mistake ever! I regret it sooooo much. Not that I dont love the civic but nothing comes close to how much I loved that truck. As soon as I get my civic payed off I am buying another one and I am gonna bag it.
