Project Nightmare Dressed like a daydream

In December i picked up a 2002 Xtreme blazer for 3,000. 151,000 miles with a 2/3 drop runs excellent but the ride is a bit rough. Its not the nicest but I needed a daily bad so i picked it up. Told the girlfriend i would just slap the Coys on it and be done with it. We all know how that works out :haha:
So now I'm going to rebuild the front suspension and steering, its getting a new drop with coilovers, c5 front brakes, new backing plates for the rearend because they were shot, and probably a few other things. Started the tear down Wednesday night, I sand blasted and cleaned up some stuff yesterday. I gotta work today but tomorrow I'm going to start putting everything back together. I have to have it done by Tuesday to get aligned since its my daily so this will probably move pretty quick.
Heres some pictures and quick history of the blazer.
The day I picked it up.
Swapped coys on and got rid of the tacky headlights etc
Installed HIDS
Finally got it cleaned
Installed my red leather seats I had sitting around
Picked up a front filler plate on the cheap for a factory GM
Then it got hit at work
But still drove it through all the snow we got this winter
Finally the suspension goodness
The teardown
Found some scary stuff, el cheapo blocks with a missing pin
Missing/Broke bolt on the bearing
buh bye suspension
Ill get some more pics tonight and tomorrow when we really get some work done.

@tytotheler I actually have a different idea for the interior 
Alright updates. For those that dont follow me on instagram
Pictures of the stuff I sandblasted and painted.
Got my new bolts installed that Belltech overnighted to me
Front end is back together, minus the front sway bar and the steering components. Just need to tighten a few things
c5 brakes
In a perfect world I will get everything done thats left tomorrow so tuesday I spend some time cleaning wheels and some stuff and polishing the lips on my wheels.

random pictures.
First couple pictures are a little project the girlfriend was working on. She loves to sand blast and paint things and i forgot to do my end links so i passed the job to her.
Before
during
paint
final assembly
rear brakes - already thinking of upgrading to z51's with a c5 caliper in the rear this shit never ends
front end from underneath - shitty picture i know. Will be cleaning it up and undercoating it this summer.
Cleaned my interior so its not filthy for the alignment. Id hate for someone to think I dont take care of my shit. Look at my shifter yo, its custom.
Was planning on painting the front sway bar to match the rear but its in such good shape I just cleaned it.
Obligatory comparison pictures
my new jtr blocks and tranny alignment shit
Potato quality picture but the Gf bought me some SS mirrors for Valentines Day so i slapped those bitches on and fixed my broken door panel
And a little side project Im working on. Red dash with pioneer double din, billet steering wheel and billet oh poop handle.
