I picked up a jag rear end. I was going to get one from a junk yard, but they wanted to double charge me, so I found one on craigslist.

I had to clean it up and take it apart.


1. The car it came out of, where I got it. YOu can see it sitting there on the ground.
  
2. Another shot. It took me a while to get out.

3. The day I cleaned the rear up, I also cleaned up the front corvette suspension.
  
4. A different view.

5. Before I started. YOu can see the dust and dirt on it.
  
6. From the back. You can see the exhaust pipes. I had to cut one to get it off.

7. From the passenger side.
  
8. One more.

9. From the front.
  
10. After a quick pressure wash.

11. More after a fresh wash.
  
12. The hub is aluminum color again.

13. More freshly cleaned. Still has some grease on it.
  
14. Just before taking it apart.

15. The mounting bolts for the exhaust are out.
  
16. Rubber mounts out.

17. And the exhaust pipes out.
  
18. Both pipes out, moving on.

19. The springs are out.
  
20. Here they are.

21. And the other side.
  
22. Now together. They are probably too heavy for the midget. I may run just one of the original, or two lighter ones.

23. Central pivots coming out.
  
24. Out.

25. Front with pivots out.
  
26. Here's the cage, removed.

27. The rear without the cage.
  
28. From the other side.

It will cost a bit to rebuild it, and narrow things, but it will be worth it.
