Bought the drivetrain from Auto Allemagne about three years ago and finnaly have gotten thing in shape for a posting on the build.
The first car was a rough one so I sold it and started over there.
Went to Idaho for the second one I am to use and as suspected was lied to on the mileage and since I was going to totally rebuild it anyways it came home.
Blasted and painted all stuff and replaced a lot of bushings. The caliper supports are a reference that were non-existant due to rust so I regenerated them with weld and surfaced them on the mill.
I sent the driveshafts out for rebuild and balance.
Installed a LSD in the front and had the gearbox rebuilt.
Found a factory longblock and new turbo was added.
These are where things are right now with the car. I have blocked out the shop untill it is running and will see if I can hold to my word!
