After that, the shell will be prepared for priming and the underside will be finished...
Next update coming soon...

Yeah... it will be noisy ![Smile](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
But honestly: I have a straight cut gearbox, 3 fuelpumps running behind the seats, 3" mongoose exhaust, so I don't care if the diff also makes some noise... it's a race car![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
But you can make a diff mount with some bushings...
Actually, I didn't raised the diff... it is at its original position like it is in the Sierra. As I kept the MK3 rear floor, I moved the rear beam more to the back and welded a new diff mount.
Others use the Sierra rear floor also, and this one is higher...
I hope the information helps you... if not... let me know

That makes perfect sence mate
, I'm gonna mount the diff hanger box section on top of the original chassis leg so as to get the diff high enough so that i can run a nice ride hight and still have the drive shaft point a few degrees downwards, and not have stupid camber

Last weekend I finished the fuel setup and battery setup. Also the fuseholder has been mounted so that I can finish the wiring the next days.
So I am nearly finished with the inside of the car...![Smile](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
