Cleaned up the new diff for it today, the bloke I bought it from wants the diff and wheels for his next project so I need to get it out and return it, besides it’s way too wide for my liking ……
Whoever set this diff up in the last car should be shot - the welds were shocking and the brackets looked like it was mounted in a trailer , some terrible booger welds that needed to be oxy cut into oblivion

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Had a look underneath and there is plenty of room to mini tub this bad boy , there’s about 80mm between the inside of the tire and the chassis rail, has a 205 on it now and there’s a bit of room on the outside of it as well so happy days Image

Minilites suit it, do the tubbing and get some dished for the rear then the J will look mean.

Mini lites have gone back to the seller they weren’t part of the deal - I am not a fan of them anyway …. Have a set of CenterLines and a set of widened steelies , will most likely run with one or both of them
