Talking First drive!!

Well I did not expect to be posting this so early but when I ordered my shafts on wednesday afternoon and they said it would take them 24hrs I was quite pleased!

Anyway the shafts themselves are slightly too short so I will order some more soon but no hurry now just need my clutch sorted.

I managed to crunch it into 1st as the clutch probably diengages about 3/4 and only drove a very short distance and back as no brakes apart from handbrake but still felt good to feel it moving under it's own power....
