Nice, which driveshafts did you use?

driveshafts are original from V40 T4, but we make them shorter in the point where there are joined(?), cause they're not made from one piece... i hope that U understand what i mind- my technical english is really bad

this was done some 5 years ago by a lad in cornwall but he crashed it.
You can get the t5 lump in but it involves major modding.

Thank U very much Renter!
Unfortunatelly I'm not fond of computers and I can only write on forum, but I'll ask bigdickbuster to put detail photos to the forum when exhaust will be done!
It will looks much better with new breath
