don't really have any progress, but I see some others are being trolled so I thought I'd absorb some of it

found a bit more time today so put the driveshaft back in and ran it through the gears with the wheels up in the air - sounded less rumbly at the back - I'll still have a look at the rear axle sometime - but it hit beer o'clock - so for now it's back on all fours in the driveway

ha ha ha hater :wink34:
I wonder if the previous owner was putting the FB bits on there because of peer group pressure
or maybe FBs were just more commonplace :grinnn:
might need two separate forums
