Ok, pinion gear installed:



And the driveshaft coupler:



And installed the ring gear and limited slip and put it in the car:

Measure twice, cut once. I got this one right as well...



I was playing with my powdercoat system. I have no intention of keeping the u bolts and plates yellow. Everything underneath the car will be silver



Everything lined up perfectly!


I had my helper install the brake backing plates ... he got them backwards :rolleyes:



Then the axles and diff cover



On went the new wheels and tires FINALLY!



I will most likely have to remove springs and/or do some lowering blocks for the rear to get the correct ride height. I'll wait until most/all of the weight is back in the car before I do that though.

This is a great build with so much time and effort put into recording in words and pictures. Can you help me with this question please, Is the top arm inner pivot point is in the same place as the original pivot point? Regards Davy
