Damn, it's tough buddy... Been there myself more times than I'd like, but you do bounce back in time... Keep positive, I know how you're feeling, look forward to the summer & enjoy for the moment spending more time with your buddies! Everything happens for a reason.

+1 That, my emotions have toughened after the first few relationships didn't go so well so I just go with the outlook of enjoying the good times and ignoring the bad, lifes for living so don't waist another day down in the dumps (When you could be on TMF looking at project threads to motovate your own like I do Hahha)

Does anyone know if these are disc or drum brake hubs? Ive asked the seller and he says drum but I thought the flanges on the sides of the hubs were for calipers? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=191180819821&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

Yes they are drums, disc hubs have the flange on the side not the bottom. The flange on those simply holds the brake back plate on,

The hubs in the auction you've linked are disc brake hubs.

I don't have a picture but i can tell you that it runs up from the floor pan, to the upright of the bulkhead under the crossmember and then around the bulkhead crossmember into the T-piece and then the master cylinder :)
