Well gto rear swap has an issue. the axles need to be almost 2" shorter a piece. The driveshaft shop says $600 for custom axles. Not in the lemons budget. I'm trying to find a car with a shorter axleshaft that has the same inner splines and the same outer cv joint so i can build a hybrid axle with the r107 outer stub axle and the shorter shaft. If anyone knows of a cv joint resource book or something that would help me figure that out please let me know. the other option is shortening the axles by cutting them and pressing the halves into a super heavy wall piece of tubing with some holes to plug weld plus weld the ends on too. I'm also going to look into re-splining them but i dont know if they are thick enough.
