WTF....

Again i miss out the opening event!!!

1. The tranny for the ´Maro arrives ~ the 20th of May
2. The Beretta just decided to disintegrate the rear axle including the left rear brake drum.
3. My Opel won´t take a 600 klick one way trip and racing a 2.2 litre 4x4 ain´t no real fun.
4. I won´t hike the 350+ miles.

Darn.

@ RT1 / Chris V6 ---> gimme a call to settle the other matters.
@ Jack Z28 / Daddy ---> No use taking the parts with you as i can´t be there.

@ everybody else: Have fun and smash some Rustangs for me, 2! :)

DaR@m <--- definitively p!ssed off.

Update on operational status:

Camaro

4L60E total goner. Converter is toast. Driveshaft shows wear cracks and fissures. Splines also worn. Looks like a total driveline job. $ 3000 byebye.
Spent 7 hours ripping the whole thing apart. Now i´ve got 400+ parts in my driveway.... Bless the landlord for his patience. Heck that´s me :)

GTZ
Rear axle broken. Period. Left brake gone. Looks like the engine is the only fine part left. No wonder at 40k miles. Oh, i found one little rust spot on it. Not bad on a 14 year old car. Estimated costs: $ 1.500,00

... now you just ask me in what mood i am :(

I'll keep an eye out at the strip yards for a Beretta. '89 to '91 have the same rear axle. Is there any others that have the same? Such as Sunbird, Corsica, etc? Anyone else going to be at a strip yard anytime soon?

So what exactely do you need from the rear axle?
As far as i can tell i don´t need anything (for my 160k GTZ)
from the rear axle out of my crashed one...
I´m just wondering how i get it to the junkyard / on the trailer without rear axle... uhm.

Probably the whole thing. And i´ll bring the 4x4 to drag the rest to the junkyard if you want. Have a carriage for the car, 2.

Eseentially the car had a rear hit sometime and the whole wear and tear ate it up. Essentially the shocks, crossmembers and the brakes. Oh dear.
