after it got ripped out from the transfer box it got wedged on the road and in the tunnel of my car Sad

lucky it was a low speed that was done when this happened. as the day before the car was doing ~80 on the motorways to and from the air port!

We will be getting this back on the road and it will be at japfest!

but on the up, at least we dont have to cut out and replace part of the floor on the car!

oh and then today.... the new VR4.... we have on order new lower arms and they are due to be delivered tomorrow.

i had aaron in the car with me when this happened, thank F**K it happened when i was reversing off the driveway!

the car is now stuck blocking not only my mums garage, but next doors as well! untill we get the parts fitted, but its proving to be more then a PITA getting off what needs to be got off!

Thats amazing what damage that has been done, even snapping the lower ball joint.

Looks like the offending failed part was a seized prop U/J, and that caused all your damage.

Hope you get it back on the road quickly

no pushing to make the little lights come on as i knew i had the bangin/juddering to solve before i pushed the car. im like that, i will have a play every now an then but i wont push it to its full cos i know there was problems that needed addressing, but it being the only car working in the house hold and was needed for the business, i had no choice but to use it but take it careful.

its a long long story, but basicaly i got ripped off an stolen from by the ex an his dad.

the ball joint is on the green vr4, and the parts will be here either today or tuesday. easy fix that one. not so much for my one. but we will get there, im just in kick ass mode.
