Finally installed new rear axel into the Rallye.Went to the local junk yard and got a 7.5 axel out of a 83 T-bird for 40 bucks complete.It is 1 inch wider on each side of the car,but with the wheels i am using it is no problem.The fun part was cutting the fox body mounts off.I bought new spring purchs and u-bolts from jegs.Had to shift the axel back half of a inch so i could install the drive shaft.Next weekend i'll install new brake lines and shoes and drums.
the mustang 7.5 will be a closer fit than the tbird one, its only about 1/4 inch each side i believe (same as the mustang 8.8)
