The RallyCar Project gets driveshafts

Last Sunday I traveled down to B-ham (Birmingham, Alabama) to work on the car with Edwin at Element Garage. The project has been feeling more and more impossible the last few sessions as we now believe that the previous owner of the car had no idea what he was doing. Some of the parts he had given gathered as spares didn't even fit our 1990 golf, like the half-shafts to the transmission. After swaping a core at O'Rilley's eventually we managed to get a left and right half-shaft in correctly and almost completed the brake hard lines inside the vehicle. In the next session we hope to tackle the engine harness and the fancy/complicated haltech E6x ECU. Yeehaaa! With any luck we'll be able to RallyCross the car in 2010.
