mindless,

I’m using an M3 rear diff. They are supposed to hold a good deal of power. If that fails, i will have to get a 5 series diff in there.

I test fit some of the trans tunnel parts. The mild steel will actually be to the inside with nuts welded on the backside, so i can bolt the tunnel on with button head screws.
