Chevy Blazer Project!

[Jimmy]

Well, today marked the beginning of my Chevy Blazer Project (first car!)!

So, my parents bought it from my grandpa since he got a new truck. (chill, they didn't buy it for me, I have to pay them for it).

So, right now, my family is rebuilding a house that we'll live in when it's done. So, until my dad gets a pickup, it's the work truck, so most of the project is going to wait until July (when I turn 16 and can legally work).

Here's some pictures of it:



And here's me starting it up:



Now, this thing hasn't been used in about a year and a half, so we had to charge up the battery, and here's what's wrong:

• Unaligned steering wheel
• Faulty headlamp switch
• A/C needs fixing
• 4x4 doesn't work, so it's RWD for now (but it's summer so I don't need it)
  
• Needs some fresh oil
• Needs new coolant
• Needs wiper fluid
• Needs new tires

Now, these fixes aren't going to cost a lot, since I'm going to do most of the work, and any work I can't do, my parent's own a trucking company so I'll take it to their mechanics.

Now, for the good part: UPGRADES!!!!!

• 12 inch subwoofer
• 900 watt amp of some sort
• Double DIN receiver (to be decided)
• Paint job (maybe)
• New rims
• Ski rack

So, let me see some feedback, or some recommendations for the upgrades!

RIP I thought it was going to be a K5 blazer not a 1998 -_-

So, I've fixed 4x4 (just had to disconnect the battery to reset the computer), and I've bought a casette tape converter (so I can play music from my phone on the stock stereo).
On the way are some LED's from eBay to replace the interior lighting.

Welp, now came some big expense:

My catalytic converter is going out, which needs to be replaced
A/C needs some servicing
Oil change (gotta build ramps so I can do it myself
Major electrical issues are being discovered

So all in all, it can still drive (unsafely), but it'll be a good $350 till it's working properly again.
