Hey guys,
As you may guess, my leggies still broken :(

I need help refitting the suspension and bolting the motor and box back on so it can be towed/trailered as have to move soon. Also so Brad can have his axle stands back!

Anybody keen to help? I have no idea what I'm doing and what bolt goes where.

That is if my car survives the next couple weeks without being trashed/burned by the bitch that hit my 36 week pregnant partner with a wine bottle and is now threatening us with getting her family/crew onto us. So much for her being a friend >:(

I can help! I also have a proper slide hammer so we can have another crack at it too. The weekend of the 23rd and 24th I should be able to help, most likely on the sunday afternoon though I think.

box is pretty much off - the driveshaft that was stuck needed a few good whacks with the slidehammer but we got it. Thanks a million Brad! just need a hacksaw for the last bolt, then it's all on for the fitting of the replacement box :)

box is off - hacked the remaining (bent) bolt 2/3 thru then used a ratchet to twist it round, using metal fatigue to destroy it. This bolt wasn't listed in the Club VR-4 how-to files I'm sure of it!


also interesting to note. Inside the bellhousing there were a couple of numbers written - 1109 maybe 11/09... odd. Maybe not the original box?

Also interesting to note: im not sure what the teeth are supposed to look like, but the torque convertor spins freely on the box input shaft, which it shouldn't as I can't turn the shaft by hand..
