after suggestions to simply weld the box and failing to find soemone who could weld it quickly. i decided tonight to distamntle the box! and whata good job it was i did!!!!

absolutely filthy! dirtiest box ive seen yet.


dirty shot before i removed cover plate+diff


discovered the planet gears in teh diff were slightly F**K!



God bless all my spare 106's!!

This box will give me a nice 14 x 60 final drive which isnt quite as short as the rallye 13x59 but still damn close!!!

Clean-up jobbie on a spare unbroken casing!
