Rear suspension progress (pics)
Well this started out as a broken differential cover and bearing support, but since I was in there "LOL"
New cover
New fuel tank
New adjustable strut rods
New shocks and shock mounts
New u-joints
new liners for spring
Glassed in the battery box due to damage, you can see from the pics someone had filled in with sealing foam.
Rebuilt trailing arms ( Thanks to Mike "tracdogg2") got the arms today and they look fantastic, awesome job
Here is the progress pics, plan to install the arms this weekend

Very impressive! Looks outstanding! Excellent choice on having Mike D. rebuild your trailing arms. He did mine also. Mike (tracdogg2) is extremely knowledgable on all aspects of C3's. His work is very impressive and he is honest. He is the only person that I take my C3's to for mechanical work.

Are you putting the steel spring back in or are going for the fiberglass mono-leaf?
