Couldn't update the thread yesterday with pics due to photobucket being a bitch!

So yesterday i managed to get the diff painted with 2 coats of black barrel paint and will do another and lightly rub it down and ill be done!

This is after the final coat of primer dried

Also eventhough i bought a line locker off of Mondo (RVK355), decided to keep it as a spare and went and bought a B&M launch control solenoid (line locker) from outlaws.

I also managed to pick up some pedders upper spring seats but they dont have any lower ones in stock so ill have to ring around today!
