the 2dr "had" rear disc brakes ...... .. so all the drum brake pieces are gone / no brake lines

... . and I needed to pull the rear crossmember out of the 4 dr anyway, to fix the rust ... .. so I swapped the whole crossmember/diff/half-shafts

This was supposed to be a 2 week 510 swap (every bolt/part) ..... . the taking apart takes 0.10% of the time as putting back together ..... :lol:

It's "fake" rust ..... .. a chemical reaction over the "powdered iron" base coat:

If it's a powdered iron base, and a chemical reaction, then why are you calling it fake? It's rust. Fake would be sponged brown paint.
