Got the driveshafts installed in my rear axle today.. The new driveshafts are "fully floating" which means that the driveshaft are'nt in one piece with the wheel hub as they are in a normal rear axle.
On this axle, the driveshafts are built with splines in both ends, both in the differential, and in the wheel hub.

Here there is a picture of all the parts together.
Attachment 704303

The most shiny parts here are the brackets that i have to use to put the new wheel hub on to the rear axle.
Attachment 704304

Here you have the new wheel hub, and if you look on the inside of it, you'll se that it has splines on the inside
Attachment 704305

Ready for assembly
Attachment 704306

The new driveshaft on its way in.
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...7/IMG_0327.jpg

Here the driveshaft is in its place, the bog washer you se in the end of it here is for preventing it for moving in to the axle.
Attachment 704307

Here it is finished, the blue cap in the end is for preventing the shaft for moving out from the axle again. The cap is held in place by a locking ring.
Attachment 704308

And then, finalt the brake disc is also mounted to the axle.

I am speechless. This build is by far the most comprehensive I've seen done on a first gen. Simply incredible. I can only imagine the money that was dropped into that car. Im in the process of doing something close to my car, but with more creature comferts then yours. And Ill be sticking with a 13bTII and a gls rearend.
You ready to start making that whose widebody peices to ship state side yet? I need to get myself a xmas gift.

Spyride 12-30-08 01:26 PM

Any chance that you can get those side skirts done in something more economical, like maybe some fiber glass?

Thanks.. Gsl rearend is no problem when you're going for the 13btII engine..
I love the first gen body..

I'm making fiberglas parts for sale now, if there is any interest for them, but when coming to the sideskirts, i have made them out of aluminium, and not CF.

Sorry, but i dont have any molds for the stock fenders.
If i had, i might could make some fenders for you, but not at this time, to much to do with my own car before the snow dissapears
