Haven't had a chance to really drive it around yet. Just finished moving and now it's Christmas already. But I think it turned out well. :D

Looks Nice and clean, I just had this done to mine , whole new back end.
I notice you are jacking from the differential. Found out the hard way this bends the Diff mounts , I bent both mounts doing that... $150...

Re: OH NO!!!! What have I done?!!!! (RMVette)
Looks great! :thumbs: Did you take everything out to paint or did you do it from under the car? :steering:
I had the trailing arms fixed and re-built. Had the Diff inspected (it was OK) and had the broken bolt removed. They painted that up while they had it. Intalled new crossmember bushings. Installed new universals and painted the half shafts. Intalled slightly used and re-painted spring. Painted the brake calipers. Put the whole thing back with new hardware and VBP Smart Struts. Then installed new 2 1/2" dual exhaust.
Actually, The floor jack is not holding the car up. It was up on jack stands. That was just there for placement before I lowered the diff out.
Thanks guys. A lot of work but worth it. :cheers:

If the floor is dull, it's from 23 years of grease, dirt and grime coming off the car. There were many days that I came walking in the house covered from head to toe in grease and grime. Now I just have to rebuild the front end :rolleyes:

What ever it was you did it correctly. Maybe you should try it again on another part of the car.
Enjoy.
Merry Christmas
