I like. got the axles rebuilt by Broadway Axle/Xcel/Axle xpress, whatever the hell they call themselves. It’s on broadway in schenectady. Really impressive, fast, thorough, and best of all CHEAP service. Highly recommended! ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/bennyfizzle/Project%20318/IMG00032.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/bennyfizzle/Project%20318/IMG00032.jpg) set the exhaust up just to get an idea of what it’ll look like 🙂 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/bennyfizzle/Project%20318/IMG00031.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/bennyfizzle/Project%20318/IMG00031.jpg) waiting on: -new front suspension hardware -one of the new rear subframe bushings is being a COCK (YES TOM I TRIED SOAP, WATER, MALLET, etc) -clutch will be here today -still have to go pick up the trans/hoist/stand from jon -once all the new hardware is in all of the suspension can go in -unfortunately I picked up my diff the other day and it sounded like a maraca, Adam H has it, and another diff, and can hopefully give me one healthy diff when the smoke, and bolt heads clear. -gotta get driveshaft looked at as well still have to do EVERYTHING on the motor. which sucks. but it’ll only take a week or so if that that’s where I stand right now, you homos. ---

$60 per is NOT bad, they put in new cages/balls/grease/boots/clamps, AND blast them, AND tank everything, AND paint them. GOOD fucking deal considering the oem rebuild kits alone are about $30 per for me. ---

Already got it homos, and it’s AKG jesse, 75D. Roughly the same hardness as a fucking bowling ball, there is nothing soft about these bushings. ---

Just finished the engine bay, I’m not even going to bother using filler to fill the slight blemishes from my grinding. It’s not a show car, they’re smooth enough for me, just going to clean, scuff, and paint the bitch. Dropping the driveshaft off at axle express and sending injectors out today. ---
