Re: OH NO!!!! What have I done?!!!! (HcDave1)
Well, this was a complete rear-end rebuild. The whole project took me about 4 months because my wife quit her job just after I got it all pulled apart. Funds were tight. Then I got a notice from the landlord in NY that they were moving back to Florida and we had to move. That kind of put priority on getting it back together to get it out of the garage. In actual time spent, probably about three weeks. I had the TA's rebuilt at a Van Steel which luckily for me is a local shop.

Great, now the C5 guys won't worry about parts falling off on the way to the St. Armands Circle show :lol:
Actually, there's probably MORE concern now because I did it myself :eek:
I know I'm going to be wondering at 85 MPH, "Did I torque that bolt right? Did I remember to put that cotter pin back in"?
:D :cheers:
