Il upload a picture. The shaft kept jamming when I was being towed. Went to turn right at hebburn college ( barnseys) and the car completely jammed and the shaft snapped off. There's still shaft stuck inside of the box. If I can't get it out I'm need a new box aswell

The end left in the gearbox should just come out as normal Dan, same thing happened to mine last year and it was fine in the end luckily.
Cars looking great though mate, loving the painted trim and wheels, its going to look dead smart

im gunna nip to the bodyshop when i have time see if he can sqeeze me in.
ifso il get the driveshaft fitted, tyres fitted softstars on, rear bumper re painted.
attend pvs
future plans:
after attending pvs i might sorn it and put it my garage and save for a z20let or leh.
this will more than likely take a while due to the gf being pregnant so im on the look out for a cheap reliable car pref 5 door
i may even buy facelift bumpers, smooth them and do them the same colour as the trim. havnt seen a c like that yet

I hope you didnt just take his word for it he will drop the £500 off in the morning.
Use £250 to get bumper done with change left over, and £250 to put towards the mechanical repairs.
