I have a gearbox! :D

[STALLED]

Well,

Was driving in traffic the other day in Marrickville and took off from a set of lights - Heard a nasty clunk and then a pretty dodgy rumbling noise from the LHS. Thought it was the driveshaft or a wheel bearing - Only to be told by my mechanic that the crown wheel in the diff has chipped a tooth and that the state of the gearbox is terminally ill! Well that was nice news just before the new year and Xmas - Considering that everyone has shut up shop for the new years break!

I thought about selling the car as an "as is" proposition but the sums still didn't weigh up! They are still worth decent money here!

Well I got a phonecall from my mechanic on Monday saying that he has found the only BE3 in New South Wales - Has 40k on the clock! Anyways - Hopefully the car will be back on the road by the 7th of January with a new clutch kit and machined flywheel! Needs a good detail too - Been sitting outside looking sorry for itself for too long!

Anyways...Sorry for not posting much as of recent, moved house and been busy with work and uni!

That's a bit of luck! I hope it's not too expensive.

How dare you have a life outside this forum!

2k for all of the work to be done - or there abouts. Do the math and work out how many 406's I could of bought for the same cash in the UK....
