At an auction in Melbourne. But watch it,there is a guy from berry motors who tries to snap up these early "40's" cars.

Looks like a resonably nice 740 Turbo, itd be easily restored to someone looking for a 740 turbo, assuming the engine runs though, and Yep I know what u mean @Canoe lol ;)

Don't want this one, the fees are to much money buying from these auctions, and all cars in salvage have to be towed away no driving.( also if its a dumped car there will be no keys)

I'm sure you have 1 or 300 key barrels mark!? :P
Wrong style bumper for me

The guy sent us a email yesterday we can have it for $500, to much money for it. I phoned Darcy he bought it, another dead car, I have the S90 out the front of my house from the same Auction for $ 450 :-/

Now Darc just needs to know how to work on cars with that many broken ones. Good to learn on though.

Needs to hang around you Alex. I've learnt tonnes since hanging out with you

Yeah, I'll have to ask for some opinions on replacing a kick down cable on my 740 Turbos gearbox, Is it worth replacing the cable or easier to replace the gearbox?, Ive got a spare gearbox laying around that I can see myself needing eventually as I never replace transmission fluid :D

Vee_Que

It is definitely a lot easier to just change the kick down cable if it is stretched too much to make your shifting funny.

Not changing the oil when you don't even have your license isn't that big an issue. Hope your spare is an aw71 though.

egads (she/her)

You only need to take the bottom off to change the kickdown right? Then filter and fluid at the same time and you have won.

iceton1975

How many people do you want to ask? I told you how to change it!

iceton1975

Again, undo kickdown cable off throttle, remove accelerator cable first, undo the 14mm nut with a spanner, you will need 2 spanners one either side, then jack up the car undo the 14mm nut holding the tranny fluid, drain into coffee cup, (only kidding) bucket, undo all the bolts around the pan, undo the 24mm dipstick tube to pan pull off pan, pan should come off unless I have missed something, to the left rear there you will see a clip, like a brake cable on a bike, take screw driver and try and flick it round to release the cable end, when this works you can flick it out the top of the side of the transmission , drivers side of the car, or if you cant be arsed send it to a workshop, Cost approx. $88 for cable, $18 for cork gasket or rubber, $30 for fluid 45mins to hour labour of course depending on workshop.

Kool, thanks for the advice, I'll have to give it a go myself instead of taking it to a mechanic, it will probably be a lot cheaper for me to do it I guess ;)

Thanks for the advice everyone, it's much appreciated
