getting car ready for winter ....need some help

Car update

Have the driveshaft

Got a fender ... looking for another (Fed Ex damaged it) hopefully get it on saturday

Getting a rear diff and another complete driveshaft to play it safe
when I go back to work its getting all put together

Also getting a set of front seats since my passenger one split

Should have all parts by next week (since its starting to get snow in Pennsylvania)

Is there anything else that could be bad besides the rear diff why they would take out the driveshaft?

I dont know if stripe will work well in a foot of snow (the POSVX is low but hopefully soon it will be AWD)
