S-10 Blazer doors

Another score! We went to the good old Craigslist once again, and came up with two rust-free S-10 Blazer doors to replace our VERY rusty ones. The bottoms of our old doors are completely gone. The seller only wanted $50 each for these, and other than a dent in one door and the fact we have to swap our power windows from the old doors to the new ones, it was a bargain. Funny how the flat black primer matches the car perfectly too! Zach and I swapped out the driver's door a few days ago, and will get to the passenger's side soon. I almost forgot, we also had to drill a large hole in the door for the power window wiring to reach the motor, but that wasn't so bad.

We also tuned up the motor a bit with a new fuel filter, EGR valve, coolant temperature sensors (there are two on this truck, one for the gauge and one for the ECM) and a new IAR solenoid to ease the starting. Occasionally we need to tickle the gas a bit to start it, but it might just be a fuel pressure issue. She runs fine otherwise.
