Thanks guys.
Much appreciated.

No worries, Tom. Yesterday, in fact, about 8 months after selling it, I made contact with the buyer and he has told me he ha totally devoted a massive amount of his time into the car. Being the...

Sadly, have since sold it. It arrived with massive rust issues, a bent chassis and was generally a huge disappointment. Was not informed about the rust or the structural damage when bought.
The...

Thanks Sean. It does have the 4637 which was a bit of a relief! There for a while I was thinking it was a mockup or some such thing. cheers. Peter

Hi. Strangely my 55 Century hardtop has either had the model designation code etched off (not sure why anyone would do that) or do you think it's possible it was never added? It has the rest of the...

Just wondered whether anyone has installed a Newport electric motor in place of their old vacuum unit and retained the original wiper bottle setup? I haven't got around to sorting out the hoses yet...

Ta, mate. Will have a look at that today sometime.

No worries, Johnny! So far, it's all good. I might be getting the rust cut out as early as next week. Only other thing I can see wrong with it is the fuel gauge goes all the way to full. (I wish my...

Hi folks.
Both my front little triangle windows are stuck solid. I have tried gentle persuasion but this has yielded nothing yet. I just want to replace the glass in one, that is the reason I'm...

Guys and Gals. She is finally in my driveway. Six months of waiting is all over. Was it worth the wait? She's a Buick, so the answer is easy :)
55 2 door Century Riviera. All original running gear....

thanks guys....any day now :)

Guys, after seven and a half months of negotiations including a 54 day ship across the Pacific, I am happy to say the car is just a handful of days from being delivered to our place. From...

Wow! Big project!
When I discovered my straight 8 was deceased, I swapped it with a working 350 chev, bought a series 3 jag front and disk brake commodore (GM Holden- Australia) rear end. Got a bit...

Thanks guys. I dunno what I am trying to do here, so I have decided to call in an autoelectrician to do the work and I will pay attention to what he does for reference. Will let u know in a week. I...

Thanks guys, wondered if I could just change the solenoid. I think one of the terminal wires went to the generator and the other to a ignition switch. I'll give it a workout. It does bolt up fine....

Hi guys. I recently bought a used starter motor to replace my old one. (I have a 52 super) but noticed that the one I bought has two terminals on the solenoid and my old starter only has one. Can you...

congrats! I'm about to take the plunge and start mine, but I have only had mine for 6 months.

I got two quotes to get mine recored professionally and both quotes were just a tad under $500 aud.
I sent some exact measurement of my 52 radiator to a shop in China because they told me they could...

Hope this helps. this is a 50 model. I guess they are the same.

Ah, too easy, thanks Chuck. Yes, I picked up a 52 Riviera from a guy on the Gold Coast (Australia). Shame that other one fell through, but more than happy with this one.
Cheers mate. Peter

Lookin' good. Can you tell me whether the dash just bolts in and out off the frame? I've got a 52, but would imagine they would unbolt the same (if they unbolt at all)
thanks. Peter

Perfect! Thanks fellas. Explains it all to me now. I have the old transmission cooler here somewhere but she's seen better days, so I'll start hunting for an aftermarket unit methinks.
I was...

Thanks. Someone told me it has to do with the transmission cooling on the dynaflow.
Would be keen to see how that is all connected, as mine has no connections existing. Thanks guys for your help.

Do you think it might have something to do with the passenger seat heater. These cars have a heater with its own radiator and fan setup under the passenger seat. Mine has long gone. Just wondered if...

Hi. Just about to add a radiator to the car (because it was missing when I bought it) and when I filled it up, water started pouring from a hole in the engine block. A quick check showed a threaded...
