Rear end Rebuild

[Gearheadvr4]

That shift assembly is sweet. That part always rusts, no coating on it at all. Granted it won't be seen but it should stay clean and last forever.

Thanks, I'm going to partially gut the car so it won't be hiding under the center anymore.

I got my trailing arm yesterday so I'll be blasting and coating it later today.. I should be getting my rod end bushings from Cherry Hill sometime this week so hopefully I'll have the rear end in by Sunday!

I suppose I should update this and "close it out" I had some fitment issues with the sway bar and got sick which held me up for a bit.. I had to re-drop the sub frame after getting it in the first time... I am officially done today with the rear end, everything is bolted up and everything clears, the car has been rolled back in the garage and put back on jack stands to make room for me to start on the front end.

This is the only pic I took of everything all together on the ground


all of the brackets on my subframe were very rusted and I broke the ones the e-brake bolts to.. fixed with washers and pop rivets, I yanked on it a bunch and it has a very strong hold. I'm confident with the repair

looks good.i can imagine how much more responsive the car's gonna feel.

Wow, that looks downright amazing. How do you find the time to do all that!? it's been on my list all winter but other things keep coming up.
Are you doing the NG road course again this year? This will be my first time.

[Rakuny]

Thanks!
yah I'll be there and am definitely doing the road course. last year was my first time, it definitely doesn't disappoint. I'll keep an eye out for you. Not sure if you remember talking to me in monument circle about your headlights.

I find the time by pissing off my fiance
jk, she's very understanding actually

I know, I'm waiting on parts though, and I did more stuff
I'm getting my new trailing arm tomorrow and I should get my trailing arm bushings by the end of the week.
been working on other small projects in the meantime.. something I did today.



Powder coated shifter!

I could have saved you the trouble of powdercoating your shifter! I have them in stock AND they are my short throw bearing ones!

[Rakuny]

actually I'm not a fan of short shifters, and I still would have had to do the base
