Default my new gto/build *new updates*

wanted a gto for a DD for the last few yrs and finally decided to get one. I found the one i wanted (2004 gto) and was going to buy it when the owner called me and said the trans (m6) just locked up. I know the guys at RPM transmission very well so this wasn't a problem with me. I told the guy I would take the car at the new low price and went to get it. When i got there i realized it wasn't the trans, it was a problem in the diff. I loaded the car on the trailer and got it home, the next day I started tearing it apart. I found the pinion was missing about half its teeth. I ordered a 05-06 diff and driveshaft, they should be here monday.
I will keep updating this thread. So far the car has a bullet cam and new valvetrain, ported intake and throttle body, jet hot coated pacesetters, 42lb injectors, 255 fuel pump, monster stg 3 clutch, B&M short throw shifter, true dual exhaust with bullets, drilled slotted rotors and a few other little things.

here are a few pics

here is the diff



some teeth in the housing lol


before and after



in the process


some pics of the gto
