Can't believe how clean that thing is! Mine has a little surface rust, but the diff shop called and couldn't believe how many miles were on it. They said it looked damn near new inside.

You're going to love that thing!

yeah mine was MINT inside too. Guess the old guy wasn't lying he said my car has barely ever seen rain and never seen snow.

I'm really excited to get this thing back in!

It's a real testament to how well these cars were truly built years ago. Hell ya, let us know how your first donuts feel.

Now that DOES look good. I assume you rear end cover is from a Supra which really sets the rear view off. By the way what brand are the yellow bushings?

My buddy runs a transmission shop that built this and he's a perfectionist with a lot of his builds.

Happy to have some of his handy work in my car.

you can see some of his work on his website:

Looking very nice! Interested to hear your impressions of the 1.5 Super Q and stongflex bushes as well. Ordered the same ones but have not gotten around to install. For the rear diff bushings, did you need a press to get them in? Or mallet, grease and some 'finesse'?
