Right, today finally got round to doing the inner CV joint. It has been knocking for almost 2 years but cos its such a messy, sh!tty, knuckle wrapping job I have put it off and off. Anyhow, here is the shaft out just cos photos are good in a build thread  :smiley:

Ok, been doing a bit of problem hunting on the car to get a checklist going for pre-summer work. And whilst problem checking I opened the passenger door and a massive chunk of filler dropped out and the door dropped.



Looks pretty freaking bad but when I had a good old poke about there is some pretty solid metal in there so I think its just a stress crack so gonna rob a welder and metal scraps from work and see what I can do. The obv thing is getting the hinge sorted, then filler to sort the rest and spray it over  :undecided:
