To turn the open diff into a solid diff, weld the gears that are on the shaft that spans the the middle of the diff perpendicular to the halfsharts to the gears that the halfshafts connect to. Be very sure that this is what you want to do before you do it as it's irreversible.

I wouldn't recommend doing it on a street driven vehicle.

It's cool as hell if the welds break and get caught in the ring/pinion. I love watching when that happens!
