We got one of the drive shafts in, would of got the second one in but the brand new pot joint boot that we got from camberly auto factors had a hole in it grrrrrr so dad took it back while split ball joints and ate pastys lol

[myredmini]

I want some specials ! Do you mind me asking how much you paid ?

[yeti21586]

For the first set that I got split, I paid Around £40 and collected them, the ones I've just won cost £67 plus the cost of A courier.

I havnt posted on this thread for a while. But I have been watching progress, I love the colour of this car. some great work being done here...well done...and im glad your feeling better,

[yeti21586]

cheers andy, yeah im feeling better. although things are going slower than i wont but thats life unfortunatly, and its mine own fault for spending how ever many months getting the dash right (and there will be pics soon when its finished) as my dad (frodgey) pointed out if it wasnt for the dash we could of been finished a couple of months ago. oops just dont tell the missus lol

weve also been having fun and games with the drive shafts as we would of had both fitted last sat but one of the pot joint boots that we got from CAF was duff so were waiting on another one its been nearly a week and still not had a phone call to say theyve got them in yet grrrrr
