Whilst the back end was out, I took the opportunity to replace:

All the rear bushes.
Both trailing arms.
Both rear chassis rails.
Diff bolts, and mount.
Rear calipers and discs swapped for 4x4 ones from original 2wd.
Fuel pump cradle, fuel pump, and filter.

Basically every nut and bolt under the back end was replaced, all the bushes were changed for polybushes, everything was cleaned up.

Whilst the car was being welded, I undersealed the back end to prevent the onset of any more rust.

After doing such a large job on the car, bearing in mind it was on axle stands on the drive, and I'd never worked on a cossie before, I thought I'd rip the grey 2wd dash out, and replace it with a facelift dark dash to match the leather that the previous owner had put in.

Ripped the dash out, and found a mess of wiring:



Replaced the dash, tidied up the wiring, and it was off for the respray. No need to explain - just check out the pics:
