Recently I've made a few big changes in my life. Met someone that makes me really happy. I eat curry now, and tomato based pasta, this is all new to me.
As you will notice from my Trans-Am Rear end blog I'm having a few problems.

I need to get a new rear axle seal, and track rod end.
I have the box for the seal in the garage, or so I thought. Its not the 4th of May, and i cant find the original part number. I got the bearing and seal from pro-parts last time. It was the same that was on a Chrysler.

19th February 2012

With BM now back on the road it was time to venture out into the big wide world of shows and meets, as I didn't have enough cash to go on the breakfast run, I thought the local meet at Sidlesham would be a good start.
