It all started with annoying oil leak and ended up with a full ass end resto :roll:

 

I had a little diff oil leak that would spray oil up under the car so I tort wile its quiet no shows or to many meets a strip down would be a good idea

 

so 14 bolts later and disconcted the breaks the hole ass end was wheeled from under the car

I had had a break fluid leek once so the paint on the casing was missing and the week befor I had a photo shoot I had recived my shocks back after a re build and the twat's had put a -1" insert in so I had to quickley weld 2 straps on to the shocker mount to raise the mount up and it looked pants so i decided to cut them off and start again :wink:

 

so the axel was stripped down and I made ally covers for the center and the 1/2 shaft tubes so the casing could be sand blasted

the diff was taken to WPE to get wayne to fit a new pinion seal and wile it was out it would be rude not to up grade the slipper to a steel end plate 8)

I had paid a guy years back to re-build my slipper with a steel casing & end plate turns out he only change the casing and kept the end plate for his car :evil: tinker lol
