I will be replacing the rubber lines, but the hard lines seem to be ok. Guess I'll find out
What did you use on the driveshaft? Came out looking very good.
I used a wire cup on an angle grinder and went over it with steel wool. It is in primer now, but no pics yet.
I will recommend replacing the carrier bearing on the shaft. These are known to fail on the 2pc driveshafts....according to many on here don't skimp on the cheapest one...try to get a decent one. I will be replacing most of the "normal wear items" like bearings and u-joints before it goes back together.

Thanks for looking and I'm getting some ideas/motivation from your build!
