On sunday a friend of mine, who is a very experienced driver made a boo boo, Ill take some shots of the wheel, but basically a gutter was hit and a wheel and some suspension arms/swaybar etc was killed in the process. We towed it home and then monday I had off so spent 12 hours straight off, thanks to paul f for coming and giving us a hand.

Replaced every suspension arm, the hubs, the swaybars, the exhaust and got the torrsen in and the 1.6 open out.

it was a very long day.

Always happy to help out. Sorry I couldn't stick around to help you finish the job.

Well, I'm glad that's proof that Works Engineering wheels are strong and light...not that I wanted to see that happen!

Gslender:
The bung Ive been waiting for was apparently brought to my place friday when I wasnt home.

Girlfriend just told me they left a note, must be your part.

This is a common occurance, and I have yet to work out a way that parts can be delivered to me and left on the property when Im not home.
I cant have a sign that says leave everything out in the open cos stuff will just get stolen.... And I cant build a drop off safety box big enough to take a pallet haha.

But this thing is the size of a 10c piece..

Anyways, Ill weld it up tomorrow night. Neighbours will have to live with the angle grinder noise cos I dont have a day off till wednesday, when Ill plasma cut my old shell into carry-able pieces, throw it in the box trailer and take it to the scrap. Then in the arvo Ill do as much of Deviant's exhaust as possible, hopefully all of it.

And drop it off at the TNT depot with the welds still glowing

Thats the intention, that end all organised?

We can organise it on the day. I will give you my account number and then you can get it ready for shipping and take it to the depot. They will either get you to fill out a con note or do it for you...Just stick my account number and shipping address in and they should do the rest.

What dimensions / weights do you have for each section?
