Good find jbonez. Looks like a Falcon exhaust, although it has rear coil overs? Didn't think Falcons had them.

Will be calling them.

XE falcon onwards upto until AU used Watts linkages. basically, if its a coil spring live axle falcon, its got a watts linkage.

Exactly right Agent86, as I've just confirmed at the local wreckers. The Watts Linkage is only present in sedans, as the utes and wagons use leaf spring. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
