Hey everyone! Long time no see. Like, two years, according to my last login. Lots of stuff to catch up. Might as well start with the car.

Over June and July, I finally got around to doing the rear end work that I'd been planning for about three years. Like all good projects, there was a significant amount of scope creep, but only a couple of setbacks. The complete list of work:

-Shifter upgrade
-Driveshaft: center support and bearing, centering bushings, giubo, CV joint replacement
-Fuel filter replacement (was original!)
-Differential: input and output seal replacement, cover replacement (only way to get new OE bushings)
-Suspension: All bushings and ball joints replaced, except for the subframe bushings and RTABs, which were replaced when I bought the car
-Parking brake: cable replacement, shoe replacement

The car is getting its overdue safety inspection right now.

Most of you probably saw all of my progress on FB, so here are just a few photos for posterity.
