Let me know when the diff is done and I can collect if you need as not too far from Bara..

right after a long wait i finally got my finger out, this time its a big update and i must say im so friggin happy!

first thing first, huge thanks to my dad, bro, our own big_mike and another mate phil

huge help today and had a good laugh (mostly taking the piss )

well, i got my diff sorted (thanks to "pimp daddy" ) he sent me a standard diff to have my unit built into.
i had bought a little while back a titan plated 7.5" unit and outputs (thanks mitch!!!)
and had them both sent to bara, (another thanks!<) he had the casings blasted, bolts painted and built the unit in with new bearings seals etc. the works!

so that was ready, my drive shafts were done! getting there, so the last couple of weeks i have been doing my beam with our fabricator, were sooo busy with customers 6 degree beams he couldnt fit mine in but he watched over me whilst i did my own. To be fair i didnt do it all my own but i did alot and im happy, yet another massive thanks to jay, he wouldnt take a penny neither, what a diamond

so beams done, that went to blasting and powder coating with all my hubs, bearing carriers etc, and the bits i didnt powder coat (flanges) i painted in gloss black myself.

I sent a box of plating over and got that back late friday afternoon! so were ready to go,

got the beam built up with new rose joints, top hats, sleeve nuts etc, then slapped the diff in and bolted in with bufty bolts shafts on, hubs, bearing carriers, blah blah, just got it done!

unfortunately for the time being i had to put the standard diff mount and suspension that came with the car back on as im still undecided suspension wise and havnt got anything else!

anyways, enough blabbing heres the pics, to say im happy is an understatement!
