Have you tried explosives?

That is correct that they are square head bolts. I found on both the XE and XC the bolts are the same. The little frame they have over the top of the bolt head is useless as fuck anyway and the bolts still spin. If you are going to replace them i would just go with a high tensile UNF bolt anyways and get the ball and chain under the car to tighten them while you lie on the seat and hold the top bolt.

Id go a twin 2.5" system with custom crossover the diff and exiting through twins at the rear. ( Oh but youll need to chuck a clevo in first!)

I rang the guy from Knox yesterday and he said he is all good and i can pick some up tomorrow. Recon thats the way ill go at this stage cause its seems easy to get there from our lodgings!
 
Thanks everyone for your input! Ill let you know how they go when i fit them up!

Engine levellers are good to use as well. that way you can angle the load on the fly as you need to.

I recon i got a set of e series backing plates and calipers in the shed.

If you decide to pull the motors of the mechs to clean them up, lube or overhaul watch out for that fucking spring. It doesnt look that powerful but the bastard will spin the sector gear round quick smart and take your bloody finger off.

Wont say what i thought when i saw it!

The window assemblies arent that hard to pull out. Three or four of those stupid rivet things to drill out and punch out.  Theres a couple of bolts holding tracks etc and you have got it out. Wiring is basically 2 wires to the motor. Voltage Polarity gets reversed depending on up down direction of window.
 
Once you pull it apart you will see how it all goes! Just rip into it.

Looking good there Sly! Looks a bit wet over your way to!

Correct,use the long one cut down in the short side and a custom or "found" longer axle turned down to size on the long.You need to remove atleast 3" of the spline/axle to get back to big enough material to work with so as I'm only going back 50mm each side and my axles have almost 80mm of tapper I'm fooked so to speak on the long side.Nothing but a custom will do I'm thinking.
 
I could resize,respline and re drill F100 axles but cost would make a custom axle cheaper.With that in mind thinking about custom 31 spline axles ATM TBH as a just incase and set and forget type deal.Would like to get the car going first though and judge the set up first before deciding on anything like that as that would mean full spool and some Strange axles.

Ended up buying an Aeroflow set today. Thanks for the comments guys!

I made a simple frame and bolted it to the floor of the boot in the XE.
 

 
The battery box and isolator switch and fuse bolt to it.
 

 

 

 

 

 
The a quick lick of carpet and she was done!
