uwww, all that power and a welded drivershaft :lol: good luck mate, some quality fabbing skills so far though, very outside the box ;-) well lots are sketchy about this ,ive welded both of my driveshafts on the t5 bug ,and nev er head a problem ,,but i will be stick welding them ,as mig may look tidy but midsteel wire isnt recomended on drives over 150bhp ,but if u think about a 4wd caddy runing a minium of 400bhp that 100bhp per wheel ,,, ;D,,once there all welded right ill get them balanced ,,we don't wont things nipping here and there do we lol |

had to cut the track arms and a trail fit to get the rear wheel straight  then trail fit the wheel as u can see its not central this is because the propshaft too too short at the mo ,  then u can see the main rear hub mount is hitting the inner sill ,a bit of chopping welding here and there ill sort that  |

a little more here decided to chop the prop to algin the wheel base ,so i can centre the rear wheels,as now its bolted on a square subframe it makes things a tad easyer to move around  erm i add a spare front prop i choped ,worked out good it fits perfect inside the rear one,,,   ill weld that up when its light i don't want a flash lol rear track arms beefed up and welded ,,  |
