Driving to work years ago the back of the gearbox broke and dropped the tailshaft. The tailshaft bent and ripped the floor open under my feet :( suffice to say i shit myself and slid off the road to the foot path with the back wheels locked. The new repairs are a little neater than the old crappy repairs from 20 years ago.

Mate, it might be costing you a few bob, but you can rest assured it's money well spent. That's quality panel work! :thumbsup:
