So I went ahead and picked up a new starter. Figured worst case its a starting point and I will know its new. I also picked us a 00 Trans Am rear axle that will hopefully get installed this weekend.

Well I got the tires off, rear end in the air and sprayed pb blaster on the bolts. That counts for something right?

Well got the old axle out. And like always I will be wanting to replace everything bushing and springs(more then likely) wise before the new one goes in. Hopefully it doesnt turn into a $600 swap.

Nice to have a shop to work on your projects. Before I had mine I remember changing the transmission on one of my cars in the gravel and snow. It is funny how that project in the snow makes a guy really appreciate getting a shop.LOL.

Been a while since i posted on here. But I just wanted to update the thread. My car is currently still in pieces due to being busy and having no luck finding a fuel pickup. So i finally decided to make the out one work the best i could. Also the strangest thing happened yesterday I was putting the intake and such back on my motor and a snake popped its head out of my alternator. Now I have to find a way to make sure its no longer in/on my car. So just a friendly reminder to watch out when messing with cars that have been sitting for a while. Oh one more thing, any one who can help with letting me know what fittings i need to adapt the 00 Trans Am rear end to my car would be greatly appreciated.
