Rear end removal

The rear was really easy to remove.  Basically a few bolts holding it in, remove the driveshaft, and drop it out.  The only issue I had was getting the upper shock nuts off.  Since they were going to be way too much work for something that wasn't being reused anyway, I just took my sawzall and cut the nuts and stems off.  This ended up taking about a minute instead of potentially lots more time if I had worked to remove the nuts with a wrench.

Now the car is essentially completely stripped.  There are a handful of small items I still need to remove because they either wouldn't come off or didn't get in the way of removing everything else.  I'll use my welder to remove the things that are stuck and the other items should only take a few minutes.

Bad pic, but you can see me dropping the rear axle assembly out the bottom
