yo, since i am so poor!

it was time to do stuff on my own again....
i just couldnt find someone to shorten my driveshaft so i did it myself!

first i took the driveshaft out after borrowing the special keys from a buddy



got the tools ready




cutted the shaft and grinded it down 7mm



grinded an angle on it for better welding penetration (angle was a bt steep though)




fabbed up a tool to clamp the shaft straght




over to the welding table




first layer welded,needs to cool down before turning around...
i got a pen that melts at 150 degrees used to check temperature before welding again.
i used wet cloths to cool the rubber boot, dont cool the shaft down fast-it s gong to be way too hard and will crack like glass

i cutted the spot where i tacked t frst up agan and grndet a small v-shape to weld over again.




grinded down the jont to check for pores, there have been none


i sprayed it again wth rust protect and mounted it on the car
