Re: Replacement battery

Thanks Morgan and Dave, I went with a Bosch in the end, but a 100 size to fit the tray, still around 750CCA so better than the Yuasa that was in there. The battery is in the boot at the moment, something I will undo later, but yes I did make sure of the terminals orientation to make sure the leads ...

Replacement battery

Hi I’m looking to replace the Yuasa battery that’s in my 69 Barracuda, I’m finding it difficult to match anything I can find available here with some of the usual recommendations Stateside. Would anyone have a suggestion for a reputable brand with decent cold cranking amps that fits their A body ...

Thanks Dave, I've got myself a couple of sets of blanks on the way, so hopefully my local cutter can get them done.

Re: Couple of Cars in Fremantle

Brontë Road in Waverley used to have lots of second hand furniture shops, it must have been an era thing they were always full of 1930s drinks cabinets and club lounge armchairs and sofas, they were really cheap shops great for setting up your first apartment. We started off on Pekivil Street off ...

Re: Couple of Cars in Fremantle

Yep, I bought Charlie for $4000 in 2000 so about £1600 at the exchange rate then. Sold him for the same 5 years later. I reckon a CL 318 in solid condition in Australia now must be about $60 to 80,000 now, so about £30-40,0000. Dave might have a better idea. All the Aussie muscle cars have become ...

Re: Couple of Cars in Fremantle

Funny, 2000 to 2004 we were in Maroubra, we were working at Fox studios, I was a set designer and illustrator on a few films and my wife worked at a special effects company. My favourite memories were Friday beer o’clock, rolling out the gates when the cricket was on next door arm out the window ...

Rear shock absorbers

Hi everyone, I’ve got a set of 6 leaf rear springs on the way from ESPO in the states, expensive but the existing springs were done. I’ve gone with a 1” lift over stock just to give a little more tyre clearance with 15” x 255s. The Monroe air shocks in the back at the moment are pretty harsh so I ...
