You lot a Animals look @ the state of them Disco's
Those wheels are only 7j but still a good price @ £80 each Shame i cant aford them
On anther note i have removed most bits under the disco to replace the gearbox nxt saturday
Only bits i can see that need to come off are the Cats, speedo cable and revering lights wires (forgot about them when i was under the bloody thing ) , Top hose Then starter gearbox mounts and bell housing bolts
Hopfully the fucking thing will then come out (im hoping )

might be best to split the transfer box off the gearbox alan..only 6 bolts holding it on and it weighs as much as a normal box on its own
i might have someone to buy a set of those wheels if he wants to sell them......
and what you mean animals..they are just getting used properly mine was road leagal till a few weeks ago..its actually still got 6 months mot and tax...recon i could be on police camera action if i drove it on road tho
davie....trying to get the bobtail done this month before i get busy....
