Esten. Then & Now

[esten97]

Here's my truck.. even back before it was my truck.

My grandpa wrecked it.

Here's the mileage when I got the truck..





























Here's some I edited...because I couldn't help myself





& that's all folks.

where'd you get that grille? and are those ebay headlights with a backlight? looks good, sorry about the possible head crack (i'm always in the 2.2 section haha) and if i'm not mistaken, do we have another girl minitrucker on the fourm?!

[mostizzle]

Nice truck. I dig the carbon fiber grille.

Thanks, I actually had the stock grille hydro-dipped in some royal purple/silver carbon fiber. And yes indeed I am female

[Spike G]

awesome! how much did that run you?

[esten97]

And also, those headlights are from ebay, but they've got halos. I also got some 5000k HIDs because I couldn't see sh*t at night. I've still got a ton of internal stuff to do though.

[esten97]

Lucky for me, I know the guy really well, so he did it for me as a graduation present

[littledevil4802]

I'm diggin the grille/hood and slayer sticker?

also what kind of hood is that?

[Omar's10]

That grill looks cool, Im gonna have to look into this "Hydro dipping" stuff

And its cool to see another young person w/ a customized s10 especially a girl

Too many people drive hondas where I live, and those that drive s10s dont customize them

[Dolemite]

S-Titties Forum. Why the hell didn't anyone think of that? Nice ride, welcome to the forum.

Thanks. The hydrodip is a really cool invention. You can put almost any picture on top of paint, and you can do anything you want. I had my glock done, and it looks badass. No one around here does anything to s10's either. I think there's only 2 more around here. Everyone has damn imports.

And littledevil4802, I got the Hood from eBay for $250. It's a batwing Hood, but I don't remember exactly what brand name.

Dolemite, thanks lol. And I guess I'll have to copywrite the s.titties forum

[nigglewiggle60]

Looks like a bat symbol on your hood. Is that what you were going for?

Well not originally. But I liked it a lot, and it was totally different so I went with that and when I got it, I thought.. thislooks badass.

[nick8788]

Very Nice truck.. There are a few dime owners in my town that have bagged them, and a few xtreme dimes that are just like off the dealer. but yea we got A TON of blender engine owners and some imports. Least that I can tell from our local car meet.

[esten97]

Whoops.. Forgot some pictures earlier.



Got some purple in the dash, as well.

Thank you. I don't get much for compliments around here, because no one respects women with trucks.. Especially when their own vehicle looks like it should be in a junkyard, so coming to this site really has boosted my ego a little bit.

I still have quite a bit to do to this truck.. Got a 4.3 I'm rebuilding [and making it carbureted] so there's a lot of mods to do with swapping.

DAM.. sweet piece... I have seen that kind of stuff done on American Chopper.. its cool what you can do with the stuff.

[94soontobeslammed]

You can get any color. The film I got was silver, and I chose that purple to go under it. Check out hydro-dip.com/gallery/. The roll pan came from Speedway Performance Accessories. It was around $120. But, it was a birthday present - so free for myself.

Notice all my presents are things for my truck. ;]

Hella no.. If I have seen you around in a customed mini i would have given you mad props. Just to bad all the cool dime owners on here are a ways from California

[556mm]

You like Pink Floyd? That's awesome in itself. Cool lookin truck not much for all the stickers on the back glass but to each his/her own. What kinda wheels are those? Like the paint job on your Glock too.

[esten97]

nick8788, Thanks man. I could say the same for being far from here.

556mm, Pink Floyd? Aha, my favorite EVER. I'm not sure about all the stickers, myself. It was a phase I went through a year ago. But I made them all myself out of this sh*t called Gallery Glass. They've all melted themselves to the glass by now, but one day I'll get them all off.
They're CenterLine wheels, cost about $200-$300 a pop. And thanks man.

[StirFrey]

in the first pic of your roll pan, what the **** is that guy in the reflection wearing on his head? looks like an iron man mask made out of cardboard or something

[s10kid17]

Sweet truck. Welcome to the forum.

That's funny. It's just a dent in the tailgate throwing off the reflection.

[blazinblack]

Ditch the fogs and that huge turd of a license plate holder on the front and you, mam' will have a sexy truck.

Those fogs were because I couldn't see jack at night, but now that's fixed.. I can ditch them. As for the license plate holder, I'm not getting rid of it until I paint the truck.

Eh...I can pick about 50 songs to like the most...but that's as little I can get. Lol

[esten97]

So even though she's pretty much parked right now until I get that 4.3 rebuilt.. I cleaned her up really nice the other day.

[Spike G]

sorry to hear about the 2.2 going on you, i love my little 4 banger. looking good none the less

[esten97]

Thanks.. Always good to see you post. & yeah, I guess it's just her time.

[esten97]

Her spot until the 4.3 is ready


Started tearing down the 2.2, but then came a thunderstorm so called it quits. May do a little more tonight.

[Driveway Kustoms]

good luck with the swap, are you still going 4.3?

[Matt96Dime]

less dime pics more owner pics..that is all.

[esten97]

Here's what I'm driving in the meantime!

[Blade.]

The 4.3L you're going with. Are you going to overhaul the entire engine? If so, give the 'rebuilding the 4.3L' on the front page a good read. Lots of information on it.

I've already blown up my 4.3L that I spent some time and money on. Wasn't running for an hour. So, I tossed it.

Good little engines... Peppy.

Now onto the truck... Hood is different, I like it because of that myself, nice to see a different style hood other than a cowl-hood.

I would personally cut the exhaust tip off, and hide it behind the rollpan myself.

All in all, looks to be a pretty solid truck.

Are you doing all the work yourself?
