Just picked up a 1989 S10 for my girlfriend.
I believe its the base model.
50,000 original miles for 700 bucks. It was a hospital car and they used it to transport supplies from building to building. I have got some questions.
We just put in a fuel pump, it decided to die 2 hrs after purchase (dealer pitched in $100 for repair costs). Also a new tailight lens, and valve cover gaskets. I put in a Pioneer Cd player I had laying around for her also.
Anyways for my questions.
I need to replace the door pins on the driver side door and i found the DIY.
But for the passenger side door, the latch itself doesnt spring so it doesnt latch itself shut. There is some rigged up block of wood and a screw and clip holding it shut haha. So is there any way a spring is loose or i can replace the spring or buy a whole new latch?
And another question.
The body isnt it all that bad of shape. Starting to get a little rust around the rear wheel wells and theres quite a bit of scratches around the top and sides of the outside of the truck bed. Im looking for any body work/painting advice. I have never done either and would like for this to be my opportunity to learn. It cant make it look worse so thats always a plus.
Thanks Kyle
Also after i take care of the important things. We would like to lower it a bit. Any links to some cheap ways to lower it properly?
