Hi,
I need to replace the battery cables (as well as the battery) as they are full of corrosion. Anyone ever done it? easy? hard? i got the chiltons repair guide at home but i was just curious if anyones ever done it.

The ground wires look like cake. My farkin positive wires leading to the battery are black, melted together, coroded and theres like 6-7 of them. I wouldn't know where to cut them and start with the new stuff.

If you are going to make a cut of any sort of cables and/or wires, just make sure you solder it. Don't mickey mouse it! Do it right the first time. And no I never replaced battery cables, I moved my batter to the back! Take Care.
When is the money spending going to stop on this fucking car?!

well, there is somewhat of a trick to our cars. replacin the NEG cable will be cake...its the positive cables that might give you fits. instead of (like every other car iv owned before) having only 1 cable attatched to the terminal, and other wires stemming from that main one. you have those 4 white wires which provide the rest of the car with power. the big black cable, runs directly to your starter. replacing the one to the starter shouldent be that bad, but are the eyelets on the white wires corroded as well? that will require searching for some more stakeon clamps for those which you may or may not be able to find very easily.
i replaced my terminal rings with power blocks to clean up the looks a little
