Measured the ground clearance:

Now with a coke can measuring 130 mm (the rim of the can is touching the exhaust heat shielding in the photograph above), as far as I know my 2003 BA is still at stock ride height. Was hoping to have it freighted to Perth via rail but Great Southern Rail have quoted a minimum allowable ground clearance of 127 mm so there's no way my vehicle will clear. It'll hit the exhaust system for sure. Going from Melbourne to Perth via VIP Automotive Solutions $1225 (they even drop me off at the airport).

Anyone got a stock ground clearance measurement for a BA for comparison?

Here's my 2003 BA Wagon's clearance:

Plenty of room, so she's going by rail, Melbourne to Perth $1175.

Why use a slim line plate though? When they require 127mm. 130mm, the coke can, is a lot closer to 127mm than the slim line plate at 100mm :idunno:

My XGF would love that knob.

I cleaned the inside.. :) took the trash out the other day. But now have washed the interior with nice wool cleaner stuff. Then used a little steam cleaner on it.

And opened it up and left it out in the wind and sun all day.

Gave the plastics a little love and it looks and smells like new again.

I was going to wash the outside today.....but friends need me to play pool and jam. And I have the kids and they would prefer to party.

Maybe next year

Can you get your springs redipped ??? A colour change. The teins gay green is giving me the shoites. Not that you can see it. But I know it's there.
