I'm so lazy...
My car and garage has looked like this for 2 weeks now. I pulled the diff to fix a stub shaft and pinion seal leak, but the "while i'm at its" are killing me. there's so much to pull, clean, paint etc. while i'm in there. Everything turns into a project 
now I want to take the gas tank down and retrieve the build sheet that I can see. it never ends.
I already lost a great driving day today.
Maybe I'll bring the diff to work tomorrow and clean it and re seal it.

I needed to see this thread. I did my suspension and a diff rebuild in a few weeks but skipped a bunch of "while I'm in here..." things in the process and somewhat regret running old bushings and junk...
...but today I did get to take my son on a cruise on Father's day with the tops down rather than spend the day wrenching by myself in the garage!

How true!
Could you please e-mail that to my wife in the form of a bumper-sticker....
I want to stick it on the garage entry door for her so I don't have to answer the "When are you going to clean your side of the garage" question for the 50th time(this year)!
OR.............
I could tell her that I decided to change sides-----"It's YOUR side that needs cleaning now, DEAR!"

The only difference between your bay and my desk at the S-worx, is that instead of the mop, it's getting the salsa stains off've the top of the desk. I have the reputation of the messiest desk there.
Good luck on the rear suspension build. I can see where that would be a can of worms. If all goes well, you'll never have to go back there again!

I guess it stems from sharing a garage with my grandfather as a kid, he was a packrat and I could never find anything!

Batwing bushings! Holy crap removing those things were the hardest task on this car so far. I wish I just left them alone but I already have new ones so I figured I take them out. Took about 15 minutes each with the air hammer The guys that were still at work after hours hate me right now 
Anyways, the diff is resealed. gonna paint it and hopefully get it back in Wednesday morning.
