While the rear differential was apart, I also took the time to replace the axle bearings, seals, and gaskets. Since the axles were torn apart, I painted them and installed some 1/2"-20 ARP wheel studs. I may end up trimming them shorter eventually.
While the rack and pinion was torn down for rebuilding, I also decided to send the outer housing out for powdercoating. This core was rather dinged up from previous engine removals and whatnot, so I sanded it down smooth for a cleaner look.
The rear shocks are being re-used from the car. They're an older set of Rancho RS9000's, which are 5-way adjustable. I sanded them smooth and painted them 'Laubfrosch' green. Hey, it's an Opel color!
