All lugnuts present and accounted for! This one only had 3 ‘nuts and one of the studs was snapped off (the shiny one is the new one).

Here’s the ‘new & improved’ underside picture – now the whole car looks brand new from underneath!

View from the rear end – nice, clean, rebuilt rear axle. Still gotta put the driver side rear shock back on after I get the brake lines all buttoned up with a new distribution block.

The drive shaft has more room in there than I thought it would – at least an inch or so on both sides. Good thing the rear axle only moves up and down with the suspension, and not side-to-side.
