That would be awesome! PM sent :)

UJ is sorted, the one by the pedals had popped out :shocked: don't know why, need to look into it; don't want it happening again!

Exhaust is sorted, just a join had come loose.

Just need to bleed the brakes and reset the calipers now and bolt the front-end back on with the new rad....

..... only thing is, I think the engine is coming out anyway :D I want to give the subframe, rack, etc, etc an overhaul, make sure everything is sweet and paint the engine and bay again. This means I can swap boxes over and fit the Mk4 shifter setup. Think its worth it. Hoping to get it all sorted and back on the road come the following weekend.

P.S. I'm going Ultimate Dubs now (in my mates car), so see some of you there!

Well you got those two bolts that clamp the UJ together, couldn't see anything missing :undecided: Where/what should I be looking for?

Sounds all ok then, very strange it came apart, unless it worked loose when you crashed.

yup - RubJonny was spot on....

Took the steering column panels off and....

We couldn't see how it could have come out! I reckon it was the crash that loosened it tbh.

Paint is being ordered today!

- Subframe, etc.
- Engine + box
- Engine bay
- Boost piping
etc etc etc etc.

Adaptors for the rims are done, so will be picking them up tonight and should be grabbing some wheel bolts for them on my lunch break.

As soon as I can source an engine crane, its all coming out! Then its time to get busy!

:cool:
