A little progress update
so for those new to this....i'm a complete rookie using info from the forum to help me rebuild the back end of the car...it all started with a leaking differential gasket.
so after tearing out the rear of the car a-la horsepowerTV....here's my progress....
1. bought new air compressor and tools - holy cow do they make things quick
2. bought a sandblasting set up for aforementioned compressor
had to take a break (and give a break to visa as well....)
3. picked up some POR 15
so i started simple and began work on the differential crossmember...
and now....

i'm planning on that....i wanted to let this side dry first before doing the inside
Seriously it's nice to have tools to work on your stuff and get the quality YOU expect.
