Yeah I had my png t shirt on, I should of said hello would of loved to of seen how they were modified to fit
they're basically cut and welded! i didn't do it so don't know what exactly cut from where etc although i may have them out over the winter for a re-jig! try getting them slighty lower and closer together if possible
Nice to speak to you again at billing fella, car looked great as usual. I hope you go through with the plans you mentioned also. You wont look back ;)

Not much changed here in the last few months, need to get up Crail with it before it closes for winter though. Might be in the bodyshop for some alterations but not too sure yet, also got an itch for re-vinyl-ing. Thinking of re-painted brakes and replacing brembo with porsche decals, thoughts?
Also popped up in total vauxhall and fast car...

i met the guy that painted your nova the other week he was up at my shed buyin astra parts.
will you have it at pvs?
Not much changed here, got the speedlines recoated and spent this evening swapping over an outer cv joint...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...1A1B544B5E.jpg
Never seen them go there before!
Not a clean snap either.. Old joint taken alot of abuse?
Yeah it was old, there's another piece lying about too! Got a sticky throttle too that I need to sort out before I end up in the erse of someone/thing!
New ones are the best way. As far as i've found its only Shafttec that make new ones too.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-C...item20b41085bc
got these in mine, good quality and are taking the pain nicely
I run smallblock shafts mateyQuote:

Shaftec make all types of cv joints and shafts and that.Quote:
