Gusto,
That is good news...at least it's a positive option...and, your suggestion to get a complete new rear HAS been floating around my head, I just need to know all the options. Again, with work, I haven't really had time to get a real close look at everything, but I will this weekend, maybe today, and that will give me an idea which direction to go...I've contacted gtr1999 and asked him to reply so we can talk prices for a rebuild...just another option...
Obviously, our pockets aren't bottom-less, so there will be a budget to follow, important first, less important last....but, again, thanks for your input...I'm really blind with this subject and you've definately lit the tunnel a bit..

A quick look-over, appears all vital parts are there...the brakes even feel hard (surprise to me)...
The complete rear end has been remove from the car, it appears the 2 previous owners, 2 brothers, must have blown the rear end up...the gears and cover are no wheres to be found..
Does anyone know what kind of hoops of fire I'll need to go thru to get the rear end gears and cover for this car and if so, where??
