lots of potential, white wheels (not the current ones) lowered with standard rear lights and your onto a winner, then focus on the engine and other bits

Can't you just buy a cv joint instead of a driveshaft

Great mod and so cheap. Mine was a bastard to fit though cos the linkage was in the wrong place, I cant even remember need to have a look again when I get the car back. Had it on my last two rallyes though.
