That would be sweet to clean the case like that.

@Papa Wickey can you tell me what kit is in that photo?
Ok guys checking in on how’s the swaps going? I 3D scanned the converter board to hopefuly
Learn how to create a 3D print model box to mount the converter board. I am stalled out doing vacation stuff on my 80. I need a hi amp alternator upgrade on it to power my inverter load. That taken me away from my 100 series MaxxECU project.

Looks like now driftHQ is no longer doing it where they absorb the tariff. Mine was about $1350 after taxes and shipping

Still waiting on DriftHQ for the bell housing adapter, I assume @TrailBornRunner is as well but at least I hope he had fun at cruise moab. I should be getting some trans cooler stuff today but that's not super exciting.
I'm probably going to try and pull the case apart now that I have the rebuild kit but I want to try and get the exterior of the case cleaned up. I just need a few days to make sure I don't mess anything up.
I reached out to DriftHQ since I had previously been told 3-4 weeks until it got to the states and now we're on week 5.

More updates: DriftHQ said that the bell housing is getting sent across the pond this week. Also got the HPR cooler adapter and installed.
This build is taking a while due to shipping and money delays unfortunately

Just got back from my Utah/cruisemoab trip, about 1400 miles round trip with hard desert driving. In the same boat as you @Papa Wickey, I'm waiting on the adapter till I actually do anything, or at least till I have confirmation it's on US soil. But I also have a bunch of other work that needs to be done on the 100 before I keep wheeling it hard, most likely pulling the engine/trans soon to chop the front of my frame off to better fit the solid axle, the plated factory frame just isn't holding up to my abuse, especially after this trip
