Hi,
Im wondering is there any onroad law in Australia to say that a vehicle must have a front/rear bumper?

The rear bumper on my 75 kombi is all beatup - but welded directly to the chasis, so im thinking of grinding it off and not worrying about replacing it.

Thoughts?

By 1975 there may be an ADR which requires bumpers to be fitted.
