Well the diff and the wing showed up. The diff looks almost brand new, gonna be installing that next week. I tried to install the wing, but it didn't come anywhere close to fitting correctly. It was way too wide, the bolt holes weren't patterned right, and the profile didn't fit the deck lid, so the mounting points were about a half inch off the surface of the deck lid. That's gonna be getting shipped back.
Also, I was driving around on Tuesday night, and the car started pulling to the right, so I looked at the wheels and the right front had probably 3* of positive camber. When the previous owner installed the coilovers, he used bolts that were way too small so he could run way too much negative camber up front. They came loose, and the wheel was able to tip in and out depending on which way the wheels were turned. The bolts are supposed to be m14, and the bolts he used were 7/16". So I went to the hardware store and got some bolts that are the correct size. No more crazy camber problems in the front!
I also got the new heater box installed. It's so nice to have heat again!
