So 2 years ago i blew my 6th cv in 5 trips, got so quick at changing them out that it was like doing a damn oil change... i decided to Solid axle swap the old girl.
At first i was going to go leaf front and got most of tge way there, was rolling and driveable but i decided leaves were not enough for me.
So roll on cutting out that stuff and buying a complete 80 series front diff and some amada coilovers.
With work being flat out i lost interest and it was just sitting around taking up space.
I ended up paying for Lustcustoms to do the swap for the 80 series and put in my coilovers, 3 weeks with him and stoked with the end result.
First trip untest was in through the 42nd traverse, my modified driveshaft was the only let down blowing 2/3 through. Definitely need a double cardan driveshaft.
Unfortunately while sitting my noisy input shaft bearing has completely let go soo gearbox has to come out now too
Heres a few pics.
