Jeremy's 1996 Blaster Build (TON OF PICTURES)

[jjj_85]

I have been taking pictures the last few days of my Blaster so I figured it was about time for me to write up this thread. I bought this unit for $200. It has been sitting in a shed with the top end off the motor. It needs a top end rebuild and a crankshaft that I know of so far. Here are a few pictures of what I have going on so far.

Here she is the day I brought her home. I got a little ahead of myself and already yanked the motor out before taking pictures....

I was just going to throw a motor together then this started happening....

I know this is laziness at its greatest point but I will take some laquer thinner to the tires and you wont even be able to tell I didnt mask anything off, atleast I let the air out so I could paint the lip.....

 

[jjj_85]

Heres where I am with the motor.

You can tell it got mosture in it....

You can tell the oil pump died.....

After cleaning the hell outta everything and checking it over, here is the beginning of the reassembly. I actually used an acid aluminum cleaning solution used for Trucks on the cases. Worked great I think. Didnt even have to scrub. Here is the Vito's Crank and transmission all going back in.

[blasterdude]

good luck.........

 

[jjj_85]

Correct mr 305 that is a 650sx. That isnt the same bottle in all the pics either.... Here are some crappy pictures while I was winterizing the 650sx and 750zxi.

Yeah that mustang is a money pit Brandoz28. It actually drove itself into the garage a year ago. Then I decided I didnt like the suspension and it was time to do body work. Its been an ongoing project for 3 years now. Started as a 4 cylinder car, then it was a 429 car, now I worked over the 429 and its a 466.

I also have a trail 70 HKO and a trail 50 K3 stuffed in here.

I did that motor in the kitchen, that garage was a mess at that time.

 

[mr_3_0_5]

thats great doing the motor in the kitchen cause the garage was dirty.. lol
yea i had a nice 650sx thats what got traded for my blaster. i have a 00 GP1200R now..

i might be rebuilding a blaster in my apartment so i feel your pain, i usually build wiring harnesses and stuff in my room because i can barely get to my project in the garage...

sweet build man,what kinda acid solution did you use to clean the case???

 

[Blasterdude27]

Nice work so far! keep us updated.

Its made my trailer mobile. You mix it like 50 parts water to one part acid. Works amazing on anything it wont melt actually. I have used it on chrome and aluminum. I even used it to take some discoloration out of the paint on the bottom of my truck from a fresh asphalt road.

I dont really know the answer to that question...Im a tech at a Kenworth semi dealership. I think we got it from a place called Central Trailers. I would just try a trailer dealership or a truck stop maybe.
