24.01.2022 Our customers 2010 Ford Focus was back in at the workshop for further upgrades after we had recently repaired issues associated with the turbo, engine & auto electrical. This time we fitted up 50mm front & rear King Springs, 3 inch stage 2 exhaust & front CV shafts. Future upgrades include a bigger front mount intercooler, turbo dump & engine front pipe, stage 3 tune & turbo timer.
23.01.2022 We're making good progress on our customers Holden HT LS build. The car has recently come back to the workshop after starting the build last year. In these photos we've sectioned out the factory fuel tank & fitted up a Aeromotive intank fuel pump assembly. These systems are great which allow you to use modern technology while still using the factory fuel sender unit & fill up points
21.01.2022 Happy Father's day to all of our Dad's out there from the team at Currey Customs & Mechanical. We've had a massive week at the workshop with our customer's first engine run ups including the 79 Holden Gemini, 57 Chev Sports Coupe & in this video the LS2 powered Holden HT sedan(note this is without the full exhaust system, we ran the car up through the turbo dump pipe). Thank you also to the below businesses & Michael Flynn. #autosparkevolution #sakazcustoms ... #suspensiondynamics See more
21.01.2022 It's always great to receive feedback from our customers. We carried out a tune up on our customers 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle last Friday. We had initially set up the 454BBC on the soft side as the engine was in it's run in period, moving forward with the car & engine all run in we put more timing & fuel into the car to optimise performance. Job done

21.01.2022 Our customers 1957 Chev Sports Coupe is coming together nicely. The car has been in the build for over the past 9 years as a body off, frame restoration. The car has been with us at the workshop for the best part of the year as we've been finishing & fitting off the car. The car is fitted up with a 283ci V8 & three speed manual. With a number of interior items to address next week, the car will be ready for a wheel alignment & registration. ... A credit must also go to the owner of the car See more
20.01.2022 Our customers 1957 Chevrolet Sports Coupe is coming together with a lot of the mechanical, engine, braking,steering, suspension taken care of. Our attention turned to the ignition system which we found to be a major issue when it came to setting up the electronic distributor to seat in the inlet manifold,camshaft, oil pump drive & oil pump assembly. After a number of pre checks to determine what the fault could be, we removed the engine sump, engine oil pump & drive. With these parts laid out on the bench we found that the oil pump drive that was used from the original engine builder was incorrect in length(photo 3). We fitted up a ARP drive & mocked everything back into place to check the height & alignment of the distributor, problem solved.
20.01.2022 Our customers tuff XD Ford Falcon was in at the workshop this week for prep work for this weekends Powercruise at Queensland Raceway. The aspirated Arrow block 393ci is backed up by a C4 & 9 inch. Turn up the volume
19.01.2022 Customer appreciation We are a humble workshop & love what we do at Currey Customs & Mechanical. It's always nice to hear from our customers & that they appreciate what we do.
19.01.2022 Happy Friday to all of our customers & followers Friday delivery for our customers 1973 Shortbed Stepside pick up. From start to finish the job went to plan. We changed over the old twin Carter Carburetor & intake manifold assembly with a new 850CFM QF Carburetor & Victor Jnr inlet manifold. We also tidied up plumbing for the fuel & cooling systems in the engine bay followed by a tune up on the 439ci BBC to suit the new setup.... To say the least our customer was wrapped with the job & how the truck drove & performed. What was also cool was that he rode down his 2018 HD M8 Breakout which he has built with tasteful modifications such as powedered coated wheels, air ride suspension, fatboy fuel tank,treated fork legs, custom 2 into 1 pipes, built 114ci M8 engine, custom seat,rear fender & side mount number plate.

11.01.2022 Our customers 1957 Chevrolet Sports Coupe is coming together nicely. We have run in the 283ci V8 & setup the tune.Initially we had issues with fuel supply to the engine which was caused by a faulty mechanical fuel pump.

09.01.2022 Our customers 1976 F Truck chassis is coming together nicely. Our job is too do a T5 Manual Transmission conversion, clutch, driveline to suit the 351 Cleveland. We received the bellhousing yesterday from Dellow in Sydney to mate the transmission to engine. With all the components being fabricated we only have to fit & measure the clutch pivot before final assembly.
08.01.2022 Update on our customers 76 Cadillac Seville. With the new fuel pump,fuel filter & fuel lines mounted, our attention turned to the front & rear braking circuits. After discovering that the rear brakes weren't operational, further diagnosis found that the proportioning valve was faulty causing no brake pressure to the rear braking circuit. We fitted up a new valve, new rear steel lines, front & rear flex lines followed by a brake fluid flush & bleed. The car is now at Suspensi...on Dynamics having the front & rear suspension systems rebuilt. Stay tuned See more
08.01.2022 This F truck chassis arrived at the workshop last week for mock up of the T5 manual transmission to the 351 V8. The job also includes sorting out the gearbox mount & cross member, measuring out the tail shaft to suit the 9 inch rear end & working out a hydraulic clutch to suit the application. So far the job has been straight forward as we were able to use the factory F truck steel cross member, mill out the T5 mount casting to suit the 09 Holden Colorado gearbox mount to adapt to the cross member. We considered fabricating a mount but considering the truck is going to be a daily drive our focus was to keep with an OEM replacement. It pays to think outside the box as a lot of time & effort has been saved on the job.
07.01.2022 Lest we forget, on this Remembrance Day 2020. To all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, to the veterans & to our serving men & women in the defence force's, we thank you for our freedom.
