windscrew looks slightly slightly tinted too to me, looks quite cool but definitely not a good practical idea

Update.
Right first off a big big thanks to Astra Dan and More cavs than you Pete. Mig funking legends!

Took the two rears down and sorted the tyres before work this morning again. Thank you Paul and Daz at Protyre in fareham 01329 220743.
So i finished at 1pm, tank it home on me bike, to find dan and pete already at mine working away..


They had finished stripping the front off and where sorting the cv joints and shafts out. Finding some of the spilens on my "custom" shafts where a bit butched.. i made a quick to to a mate and stole his Gsi shaft with cav mk2 inner.. as a temp fix and picked up some lunch.




Got back and got the shaft sorted out and ready to fit.
While they where carring on with the front,


I started stripping the rear end.
Now i bought the beam all ready converted to disc... So i had no clue what had been done.


First starting to undo the hub bolts... Funking hell these where tight! One of them they had just started to round when they stoped.. so tryed to undo it it rounded right away.. Striped off the calipars, springs and shocks off, and un did the hand brake cable.




After a lot! of fighting i got the hubs unbolted and off, Then pulled out the grinder out and ground the head off the rounded bolt.

Now while i was ion there, dan remember what the simps (cheers dude) had to did, trimming down the casing off the beam so cause the shoulders on the bolt touch it so you cant do them up... Sooo



The new hubs had abs, these is a prob as the old hubs and beam didnt.. so the hole in the center wasnt bigger enough So we removed (see hit with a hammer) the abs cover thing and rings under neither, they fit a bit better now.


While that all sorted it was bolting back together time. Fitting my old fk rear springs as they are lower.. Just till the coilovers get here.
Heres how she looks at the mo. No prober pics as one of the cvs on the front isnt fully clicked in to place so i have no drive, so will get it jacked up and sorted in the morning, give it a good clean then get some proper pics, but you get the look.






A pair of 5stud turbo rimed weapons.




Will add more pics tomoz After bits have been tidyed up and so on, just wanted to get the wheels on and sorted.
