Massive update time.
Was originally just going to gradually get all the driveline gear needed to convert the rx to a wrx driveline. Was scouring the gumtree ads to find the parts need, found a cross member that I was going to get to change over so it didn't foul the dump pipe from the wrx motor. Came across one add for a wrecking wrx and enquirer to the guy. Ex project that engine was gone and the guy couldn't afford to do the spray painting. Went and had a look, took some photos of gearbox numbers etc and went away. A bit of bargaining later and we had come to a deal...* So organized a time frame and borrowed Bob from the forums and we took a drive yesterday morning and started. Sated with the exhaust off and then got down and dirty... Btw it was fucking hot yesterday, not the greatest day to be rolling under cars. Car up on stands and got to take out the tailshaft, that dropped out easy, heap of oil residue under the car. Jacked up the front support beam and gearbox, dropped all the bolts, gently dropped it all down. Pretty easy actually. Moved to the back end, unbolted the k frame whilst supporting the diff and I t all dropped out. *2 hours from start to finish, pretty happy with that! Went back to bobs, had lunch and drove back to mine where he helped me take it all out of my car. Degreaser it all and high pressure cleaned it, came p the goods. Under all the grease and oil found white line front end links. Win! Gearbox is a 4.44 5 speed, should be great! Sated on the diff, drained all the oil out of it, was redline shockproof in there, all the teeth looked good and clean! Grabbed some wire brush cleaners for my drill, and started on the diff this morning. Coming up. The goods! Gonna wire brush, prime and paint the underside as there is a bit of surface rust in some parts etc... Wish us luck! Will keep you updated.

Top is all the parts cleaned and degreased. Second pick is me wire brushing the diff. Looking at colour coding the main bits to make it all uniform. Bit ocd but it'll look good
