Hi all again. Haven't been able to get much done on the roadster since last post due to work.

Hi all. Installed a Moser 8.8" solid axle rear end and Koni coil over shocks, there are a few pictures below. All went well except for one small problem (and it was just me). I initially installed the rear end under the panhard mount brace instead of over it. I didn't realize it had to go over until I tried to install the Koni coil over shocks and they wouldn't reach the lower shock mounts on the rear end. It only took about 5 minutes to disconnect the upper link and lower control arms ...
