Nice!! I missed this thread! Should it be moved to the new "long term build"?

I NEED to do this same thing on Klaus - next time we meet up, I'd like to hear the whole story on how the install goes for you.

That thread is titled rear wheel bearings but it also goes into links, flex disks, and rear axles.
We replaced practically everything on the rear of the car last year. If you have any questions, be sure to ask either me or Vstech, we went through every bit of the rear of the car and can share our experiences. My job started out as a flex disk replacement and quickly evolved into a full rear end rebuild.

Kudos to you for doing this and saving this car. The beginning pictures are depressing and make me pissed that someone could have such a nice car and allow this to happen. It is heartening to see folks like you reviving and preserving these cars. Thanks and good luck with it.

I got all the old bushings out of the donor sub-frame and pressed in the two rear and differential mount replacements. I want to clean up some surface rust prior to pressing in the forward bushings.
I also purchased front bushings and sourced replacement springs because one of the front ones is cracked at the bottom three inches or so.
