Sorry if I'm jumping around on the project 😅 just doing what feel like. Also will edit thus post a bit later to give a better story and reference. Just to get the pics up for now.

Fuel tank assembly is still on going. I'll update with another post

I've been busy with getting the backend assembly sorted. I have a few combinations and extras of drive shafts diff, wheel hub uprights suspension assembly etc. I'm doing a conversion from non abs to abs so was able to aquire a lot of the running gear and rear suspension etc. Have 2 differentials one for the 2.0 setup and then one for 2.9 v6 setup

Originally I had the push in tripod type diff and suspension setup with drum brakes from a 1.8cvh So I bought the superior setup to use rear disc and abs. Thus meant getting a diff and lobro cv joint setup as wel. Have 2 lobro diffs 3.36, and 3.89 ratio. Both M71 and both same dims across flats and prop shaft fitting

3.89 diff









3.36 diff











This is the ally diff from the 1.8. Not sure what ratio this is. Does anyone know


















You will see some front drive shafts for the 4x4 setup in the mix. That will come later. I had some lugs welded on the arms for the rear arb setup. It was time to remove the abs setup an return the non abs tripod setup back on so I can push the car In the garage if I have too.

























Push in


























































































I still have the drive or side shafts, hubs, and carriers in the soaking bath.

Im trying out a new cleaning program ATM. So it goes hot oil pot. Dirty degreaser bath. Clean degreaser bath then water boil pot. The first stage I'm still testing. This i hope works then I don't waste on degreaser solvent. I would like to know what all are doing to get that old tacky grimey and grease off. You know the crusty old stuff. Then like what are peeps doing with the soft mucky grease that can't be used. It's a real dirty oily job. That why thought of a hot oil pot. Can pour it into a disposal container and take to like an oil recycling station.

Anyway lots of jobs still to do. Still got to teardown another set of side shafts and clean all the bits. Then I'm going to choose the best out the lot and rebuild. Shafts will go in for powder coating as well as hub assembly. Also thinking about upgrading the rear wheel bearing to the steel cage type not the nylon type.

Cheers for now
