So far I my success rate is one out of three tries lol. All different corners. My succesful one was

aproach 90* corner from outside
start turning in +handbrake+clutch
the rest happened too fast lol.

But I didnt crash. Waiting for more rain to learn since I'd like to stay slow(er) for now. Plus open diff+nearly new tires is stupid.

Weld that thing up first. Sounds like you need to counter steer faster, but can't tell with an open diff.

Doing it with open diff is hardly to call it drifting. It's more "Sliding" with un-even rear wheel spinning.

Open diff will get you BAD HABIT when you have LSD or locked diff later. because the car will act differently with proper LSD than open diff...

I suggest you to get the diff before do it again. so you can learn or have an experience with proper set up.

I see what youre saying. Ive been looking for another diff on craigslist.

I went out trying to drift tonight, i finally got one decent one, kind of. But the angle was weak. I had one where i had some crazy understeer and was still burning out. That felt pretty weird haha. Its stupidly annoying but its fun to try.
