cast is off......my arm is really hairy and skinny and the tan line is so bad it looks like ive tried to fist a cow elbow first and then changed my mind halfway through! :lol:
probibly going to go violate the disco on friday....maby able to pick up my rear axle after however many weeks!
also going to have to lift it up a bit more......maby a foot! need thoughts on this please, is it better to make my own axle stands BIG or to put bits of wood underneath the existing stands? or could even make a stand/frame thing that the centre of the chassis sits on. any sergestions? just sick of crawling around on the floor and welding in positions that involve me having a spark shower.

Not broken, just nicely swollen, and Pheonix has had to wait as the Volvo failed its MOT so need to put new track rod ends and a wheel bearing on it. However, regarding axle stands, go to an agricultural type place anc buy some tractor stands. About £40 for a pair, but 8 tonne rated and extend to about 3 foot tall.
boss:
agri stands! that sounds like a plan!
leaving to get my second axle now....then i got to weld up the exhaust on my astra as the back box decided to detach its self.....sounds pretty good though :lol:
good to hear that your fingers arnt broke mate. and thank you all for your input on things....even if a little ott :lol:
