Default Winter project Started

Well started my winter project, complete rebuild or rear suspension, differential. So far things are going very easy, car is basically rust free, half shafts are out rear spring dropped, will start strut rods, diff mount and drop Friday. Hope the balance goes as easy as it has so far, concerned about breaking top hats from frame, heard this could be a problem have to wait and see.
Comments welcome and appreciated
