Hi,

your wagon looks mint but the photo you posted is a bit small, a larger pic would be nice.

I don't know of any places in Mackay that would make a diff for you, but if you can't find any there is plenty down south that specialise in shortening diffs. Just have a look in any Street Machine magazine and take your pick.

Have you thought about running a borgwarner diff. I have a VS commodore SS diff in my HK monaro. Can't remember widths but it was real close. I changed the gears to 3.7's and have run 11.60's with a 307 and 100 gas with no worries.

Nice car mate. Was this on aussie v8.

Trimming in Mackay - speak to Jeff from Alltrim. He has done many a show car's interior and they all come up fantastic.

As for the diff you would have more luck down south in regards to shortening a 9 inch and getting one to bolt straight in

There are people around that can do it like Mike O'Donnell in Townsville for one, I'm sure there are a few in Mackay that can do it you just won't find them on this site.
Peter Russo from Advanced Balancing Services 49432879 in Sarina who is a good engine machinist / builder and is heavily involved in drag racing and would point you in the right direction.
