Gee thanks Norm! One immaculate rebuilt E30 and he gets all smug! :p
Trying to keep it tidy and organized as I go (not really like me, strangely)

Thanks for the offer Darky, it's good to know I've got a local who's also happy to help.

Only thing I'm a bit stuck on is the flange connecting the Diff to the Axle shafts.
Those allenhead nuts are not going anywhere so I'm considering dropping the whole subframe and grinding them off. I just want the Diff!

If the half shafts are in half decent shape I would recommend saving them a they are cheap to rebuild if need be and its always good to have spares..spray some penetrating oil on those bolts and keep trying.. Also, use a ratchet with an #8 Allen socket ( If I remember properly) with a bit of leverage (a pipe or spanner on it) - those bolts WILLl come out. Strip EVERYTHING you can off that car - you don't know what you may need!
