RETed will become famous soon enough
I have seen write-up's for FC turbo driveshafts but not for a non-turbo one.

If the two are similar, then this is what needs to be done:
The U-joints are tack-welded into place, so that's why they are not serviceable.
You'll need to grind out these tack-welds to remove the U-joints themselves.
Once you get the U-joint out, it's just a matter of finding a correct replacement.
I, too, recommend you finding a local driveshaft shop that can help you.
If you're unable to handle the above procedure, I'm sure they'll be willing to do the whole job for nominal costs.
I would think they should be able to do this job for $100 or less included both U-joints.

Good luck!

I also took the liberty of redoing your Title, so that maybe we'll get more interest in this thread.
