I dont think much harm will come to it if I drive it like it. They have obviously been like it a while judging by the rust in the crack.

Better to be safe than sorry though. Dont fancy a prop or diff coming up through the rear floor!

Yessss!

Better get myself a compressor before Wagtail.

Drive it up with the vit ring and pinions already built up into the front and swap this into the rear when I get there.

You'd be driving back though wouldn't you? Or you gonna swap it back out again?

I don't really know.

I need to swap to a 413 transfer box, Install the diff, and borrow some 33's for the true picture.

At the moment I think I would have to swap back. Although it is mainly downhill on the way back.
