Hi caibs.
What you are proposing to do, I'm already doing.
I need to fix the rust in the body, having sorted out the pan.
It'll be reassembled without mudguards, with cycle guards and headlights in buckets etc.
I sent in a form a few weeks ago and I've heard nothing from them yet, but I'm going ahead anyway as I'm sure it will not need an engineer and only a simple inspection.
Get a form from your local rego office and tell that you will keep most of the car stock.
If you intend to "hot up" the engine. Don't tell them until you have had the cycle guards bit inspected. Get it inspected a mechanically stock standard car and then play with it later.
I'm going to fit an Empi dress up kit to the engine and the only engine mod that I'm going to do.
Cycle guards are legal, but they must comply with the rules. What they are, I haven't found out yet.
Keep in touch I'd like to work with you on this as we would work better as a team against "them".
Jon is right. Record with pictures everything that you do to show them that it was done and that it was done well.
If you want louvers, contact the Hot Rod builders. They will know about them.
For new steel cycle guards, contact Stretchforming Technologies on (07) 3200 1098.
