I bought this car back in 2009, the car is a original 405 mi16x4 that means full time 4 wheel drive 53/47 wheel split on power the engine is original 1.9mi16 116 kw 160 hp, drove the car all the way thru collage had a lot of fun, about 2 years ago the 4WD(wheel drive) broke stripe the spline on the input shaft of the transfer case, no economical replacement parts so i put a diff in the original gearbox and became FWD so i remove the driveshaft and rear diff, as much as a like wheel spin, spinning you are not winning, noting like 4wd grip, i decided to go RWD to get more grip, i'm planning to use a getrag 240 copy form GM and the original drive shaft and torsen diff, this are pictures of the car when i bought the car in 2009 is the silver one, the red one is my father's 405 and the 605 was my brothers
Any big project contains lots of small projects that all together make it a one, to day my project was to repair the rear diff support bracket or as i call it the mustache bar, the bar was bent and has some rust on it, so i cut some un use brackets, and started using a hammer to make it straight but it seems to be made out of spring steel so ended using the press and made it straight, next cleaned it with wire brush and spray it with anti rust solution, couple hours later cleaned it with acetone and spray it primer black, more coming soon
