The rear end appeared to be pretty stock and no one had messed with it. When I picked up the car it was not installed but was relatively a complete unit It is a sure grip 3.55 took some before and after shots to capture the factory markings. I had it rebuilt stock by Scribner who does lots of racing units. Did my best to restore the markings and have it installed back into the car.

Dissassembled my first A833. Found some issues of concern worn input shaft and mainshaft along with bad first and third gears, bad forks and worn sliders. I ordered new parts from Brewers and Passon they are great to deal with. and Im having the input shaft rebuilt by Liberty Gears. Looking forward to getting everthing to get it put together..

Still waiting for some tranny parts but did a quick mockup of the Engine installation dolly. This was a unit I borrowed from a friend but had to be modified for an EBody.

Installed exterior trim on the wheel wells and rocker panel complete. The year one trim pieces leave a little to be desired but from what I hear they all do. This is a trim to fit contour parts to match body. Lesson learned is weld up all the holes in the W/W prior to paint next time...

New Camera makes the color more realistic.
