Here's a 1999 blaster I bought from some kid for $500, needs a new piston and rings and maybe a slight overbore. It's funny he told me there was no compression so he installed new gaskets.. I took the jug off only to find a chunk of the piston missing! How did he not notice that when he put the new gaskets on? Oh well, I only paid $500 so I can't complain.

So far I sandblasted the engine and painted it black (paints drying at the moment). I plan to rebuild the whole thing and paint the frame while I'm at it, then install the go fast parts later on. I'll keep everyone updated on its progress, but it's going to take some time as I'm busy buying a house and all that.
