Generally, how much does it cost to get the driveshaft modified? Do you know how it's done? I have a friend who has a garage and may be able to do it. I actually found out about the U-joints being non-servicable from that 210 group on yahoo, they have some good information but none that has helped me with this problem. I live in Phoenix, az

Let me start off by saying that I'm new to this site, however I've been looking at pictures here for some time now. Im not as far along as many of you folks but I'm trying to learn, and I'm crazy about datsuns. So anyway, Ive got myself a 1979 210 that I bought about 3 months ago and I've already fouled up the universal joint. I tried to get some info on fixing this problem, but aparently the aparatus is unservicable. I havent been about to find another universal joint to fix this and I havent the first clue on where to start. I do know that I dont want to take it to a regular old car repair shop an get charged up the ass for a car they probably dont know how to fix. Does anyone have any ideas? Are there any interchangable parts from another make/model I could use?
