Don't expect to see any show car though. The Sport is very original, right down to shrunken original carpets and even exhaust mufflers.

Re: Diff info wanted HELP
So the sport had gtr wheels, gtr sized unijoints.
Does it come with a gtr limited slip diff? Glen< did old mate diff repairer look inside the old diff?
How can you find out (other than a burnout on a gravel road
) ?

HI Dean, the diff out of the car is currently in pieces for a quick look see and put back together, sorry no LSD but I was hoping there would be !!Gunna wrote:So the sport had gtr wheels, gtr sized unijoints.

Notice there is no castellated nut on the the shaft, the cause of all the problems.

Re: Diff info wanted HELP
Well, the Diff is now back in the car.
A huge thanks to Stephen for helping me do this job on the Sport. Without his help it would have been impossible. WE had a few problems getting it back in, but suceded in the end.
Only have the exhaust system to fit back up, perhaps today and its done. Plenty of smaller jobs to do still.

The Sport does need some work on it as its more or less as I got it apart from the rust repairs covered on here. But at this stage it should be at Albury.
