today was a pretty busy day.
-balanced the tires
-painted the rims black
-Got U-joint axle shafts for 50$

the u joints are the smaller ones but it beats the crap out of wheeling with broken cv boots. The u joints are shot so ill be picking up some new ones.

pics will be up later!

I have never been a HUGE fan of the Grands, but yours actually looks good! Sucks that you have had so many problems with it though. Good luck with the rest of your build up!!
