Quick tidy up and etch prime.  That's me done for tonight.  Hopefully this is the last welding I'll be doing on the shell.

Overdue update... I finished welding the panhard rod bracket on the diff, tidied up the other two link brackets and shock brackets and have sent the housing away to get sand blasted.  Hopefully the panelbeater will be along this weekend to make some progress on the bodywork.

So the axle housing came back yesterday from the sandblasters. Had to make sure I was happy with it so I could get a couple of good coats of etch primer onto it before it rusted before my eyes. Gotta love this time of year for painting

Have modified the axles to accept the Group 4 studs.  Have tried a trick i heard from a good friend of mine for treating the axles with dry ice, we will see how this works...

Diff head has been given the once over (steel plate type LSD 4.9 Ratio) bearings all good, pre-load checked, seals replaced. Once painted i will assemble the rear axle.  Just need to rebuild the calipers...

While the rear axle has been getting rebuilt, the panelbeater has been around and stripped both rear quarters and rear panel.

Stripped the gearbox down, note the RS2000 tailshaft housing which puts the gear lever through the original position in the tunnel . The gear kit is a TranX one and checked out all ok.

With the body in bare metal, it was time to treat it to some Brunox to kill any surface rust that was lurking beneath the old paint and filler
