So, it's been awhile since I've been on here. But in conservation of time, I'll just say that I'm gonna try and be back on as time allows.
So, I finally found a Torsen locally and picked it up. I pulled the housing off it and blasted all the gunk off. Put a few coats of paint on it and am in the process of putting it back in. Going to be doing a few other lil' projects at the same time so I'll try and keep this updated.
Installing:
Torsen LSD w/ new Energy Suspension Bushings
ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid
Earl's Speed Bleeders
Misc. Painting:
LSD (obviously)
Rear Panel
Mirrors
Calipers

Here are some pics of the rear panel/mirrors getting prepped for the base coat.

I filled in the holes left behind from the badge on the back so it needed some primer.

Finally got a few coats of base on.
