RearendThreads are useless without pics, so let's begin......Removed the tank and rearend<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts001.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts002-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Remember, I daily drove this through many Indiana winters and heres the proof.<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts005-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts008-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts010-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts014.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Cut out the cancer area and welded in a section from my donor car.<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts013.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Scrubbed the wheel wells and rattle canned them with rubberized paint<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts003-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts012.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Sandblasted the underside up to where the rearseat floor mats would set. Heres before and after pics of one area to give you an idea. This is where the filler neck comes in from the trunk area for those not familiar.<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts018.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts023-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Sandblasted the rear and powder coated the cover, axle ends, and anything else that would unbolt. The main housing is just blasted, primered and painted.<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts011.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts025-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts016.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts034.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Underside of the car received 2 coats of por-15 (cellphone pic)<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/04131001171.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Blasted and powdercoated everything i could unbolt from the underside.<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts009.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Didn't like my springs black so they were also powdercoated.<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts045.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Now I have too much black. Didn't like the fact that my hardwork of sandblasting and powdercoating every piece turned out looking lke I drove the car over a black paint sprayer. I needed seperation and decided to put a topcoat of grey on the underside. <img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts030.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts029.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/04161002461.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This is a picture of the same area referenced above with the final coat.<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts036-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />During the removal process I found some pieces that were in pretty bad shape.<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts055.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts006-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts032.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts007.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Replaced the stock upper control arms with new stock ones that I powdercoated. Lower control arms were upgraded to maximum motorsport ones. Shocks were upgraded to bilstein. Brakes will be upgraded to Cobra brakes (already have the larger mounting bracket and moan braces installed on the rear). Sway bar went from stock to a hotchkis with matching front swaybar. I had already upgraded the rear with 4.10 ring and pinion, pro auburn 31 spline diff, T/A performance girdle,and 31 spline superior axles.<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts057.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts058.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Junk pile<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts040.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Was expecting some fuel fittings to be on my porch today so i could start setting up the fuel but no packages. Got the tank installed but that was it.<img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/bos-94-003/parts059.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
