@ pistolpete (while i was posting davius made two posts i take for ever to post have to check my spelling,most words. im sure words still get spelt wrong    :lol: )

sweet pistolpete,
 i was just reading a old post i found on the net about fitting 28 spline axles to cortina diffs, your user name was in the mix of it.
 Have you seen the tc xle on ebay in sydney for 1500 looks pretty good in the pitcures
theres a xle td for sale in sa on gumtree with white interior, the guys asking 900 dosent look like its run in awhile.
 Have my eye on it, but  i cant get another car till the xr6 is fixed :(
