Bushings are in the subframe. Also some homemade rear diff ear bushings made from 80A poly, thanks again K-dog.

Started putting the rear sub-assembly back together. Really liking the fact that I bought new hardware to replace some of the rusty bolts. However they screwed up and sent me the wrong two cam-bolts for the lower control arm. So I have the old rusty ones in there for now until they send me the correct ones.

Gave things a light coat of black paint here and there to touch things up and keep it all clean.

Also got my rear diff back from PowderKeg, done in "soft silver". Looks great!

Slowly but surely will continue just putting it all back together. And I love how everything is just so much cleaner now!

Some pics of it coming back together.

Thanks all :)

More small updates. Things are going slowly but surely. I basically spent way too long trying to get the stock bushings out of the rear diff, but I eventually got them out. Poly bushings are mostly in. I put the new diff cover on. I also cleaned up some hardware that was looking crappy. Shot it with a light coat of rust inhibitor primer than a light coat of silver, so hopefully they'll stay rust free now. Here's a couple pics.
