Totally welding my diff by the way.. How many amps do I need to weld that bitch?
I found 18-19 worked good. Gas was around 30 or so? 250 wire speed.

Fucker not telling me your around.
You're never home anyways. And we've only met up 3 times total since I've owned my BMW. Get less of a life.

You'll probably be out of the country by then!

Glad to see my car's parts going to use! That diff cleaned up really well too, I'll need to do the same on the be28ter as it is in the same condition.
If you wanna borrow that wire stick wheel, LMK. as a regular wire wheel, will get destroyed in minutes. That wire stick wheel, does a NUMBER, and fast! I love it.

That wire wheel looks dangerous! Must work good.

Yeah, its basically little Allen wrenches wrapped around the metal dowel on that drum, they're solid, not wires. IDK the actual name for it, but it's been in my shop for over a decade easy. It hit a washer on monday, and made it a projectile, was sweet. But yes, it is scary! haha

haha sweet. I caught a wire in my arm once. It felt like a bb gun (don't ask how I know).

Finally got to dropping the rear diff in the E28.
Good news is, the rear diff is out.
Bad news. It was an LSD diff. Yeah, FUCK ME RIGHT?
Anyways. That took 2 days to get out, (Don't wanna hear that I took forever, I'm doing it in the cold, on the ground, bymyself. #excusemeister
How she's been sitting the whole time. Haha

Rear diff out finally, wrenching bolts off, to pull the cover.

Hey look, an LSD! Looks fine, teeth look good right?

Then, this fell out, no snap ring holding it in, wtf?

Then, these were found in the last bits of the fluid. God knows what poured out of the majority of the fluid ( I poured it in an unmentionable spot)

Inner LSD teeth.

More random teeth chunks.

How it's currently sitting in my driveway.

Video of the internals!
LSD diff's are rebuildable. So, this one is for sale. The inards need to be replaced. Other then that, housing and drive teeth are fine. So if someone wants a project, this LSD is for sale, or I'll rebuild it and sell it. Or scrap it. PM me if interested. Also, video of the insides!
