Build thread/running log of my E28? Guess I can do eet.

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.

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!

what in the world did you do to cause this damage !?!?!
No idea. this rear diff was so warn. The friction plates were probably GONE. I always thought I had an open diff, but evidently it was at one point an LSD. No idea how it got destroyed though.
Finally! I mean, I was seeing your crypitc posts on FB, then coming here to see no updates. I was thinking you grenaded your new racist diff. Good to see you didn't.
Yeah, I haven't even put it in yet. I'm waiting to pick up diff fluid. (currently broke as shit, and just got back from vacation!)

Well, since my vacation went a little to spend happy in the childrens game room, I'm a little tight on cash. So I proposed a deal with a few guys on the wibimmers chat! Snap, REKIII, Bassboi, Cyoungster. That if they purchase my diff fluid, I'll install the diff, mount up my other set of tires, grab my camera, and video tape a burnout till the tires blow.
Well, Chris pulled through like a complete fawkin bawse. An said he'd be at my place this weekend dumping in diff fluid, and helping turn a wrench. Get ready for a burn out that looks like this-
