Bob that is a nice car, the one Grandfather drove had springs the full length of the chassis. I saw a restored one in the Birdwood museum 17 years ago.
I know it's shoddy work Howard but the ute is only used to drive from the house to the bus stop and is restricted to 20kph.

Robert, thats a lot of damage for 20 kph

Euan, Vicki and I bought the ute new in 94 and retired it to paddock work when it had more than 300,000 K's. When a ball fell out of the cv joint while carting water in the drout I gave it to the boys to drive to the bus as a two wheel drive. The rest of the balls fell out while cornering and the shaft droped out, when Sam straightened up the shaft jamed the wheel and the ball joint snaped so my fix was to cut the shaft and weld the joint in place.
hopefully it will last for a fiew months at least.
