If you lived in Western Australia and you pay your rego every year and keep your baby looking ok then no stranger has to poke and prod your pride and joy. Good luck anyway :wink:

If you live in some parts of the UK,drive a load of junk and don't bother to tax or insure it no one pokes and prods either.

Good luck rotti :wink:

I also enjoyed the WA legislation when I was over in Oz. Had an awesome '69 Holden Kingswood and didn't need to put it through an 'MOT'. It was awesome until the timing gear turned itself to dust when I was making a trip into the centre. I was stuck in the outback, 350 miles away from anything...funny when I look back on it, but not so funny at the time :roll:

well I came home with a list :(

not bad though so reckonI can get it all sorted monday..

2 bits of welding... one where the bottom of the battery tray support sits on inner wing.. and tiny hole at back of OS step (near seatbelt mount though)

NS track rod end, mtoorfactor had that ON THE SHELF !!!!!! 11 quid
washers too weak (my fault I fitted a non return valve but it restricts too much)
no. plate light bulb

so im a very happy bunny...
