engineer's certificate and insurance??

As much I as I don't like paying insurance I know the notch I'm building will need insurance...just in case 😠

The car has some modification done beyond what was offered on this car but all that were available on this model run...type III 1968 notchback chassis # 318022648.

Brakes: converted from drum to disc front. late model rear drums on the rear. Dual circuit master cylinder with relocated reservoir.

Suspension: swing axle converted to IRS, sway bars(to be fitted soon)

Engine : different crankcase from original one, EFI conversion with 90% aftermarket parts, larger displacement. I plan to go turbo in the next 12 months I guess that will affect things?

Gearbox: beetle single side plate with IRS

Interior: Restored original seats (for now) but that will change. If they use the VW runners I heard that it's ok. want to use 3 point retractable seatbelts too which requires welding reinforcement mounting plates - now has chest ones only.

I think the seatbelt mounting plates will have to be signed off but how about the other changes?

For rego purposes it would most likely pass a blue slip inspection but it's getting paid by insurance if it ever needs it that I worry about.

Any thoughts or experiences?

Be honest(as much as hate insurace co's) ring shannons. never had any problems

I reckon all your chassis mods are 'owner certifiable' ie; OE equivalent upgrades so won't need an Engineers Cert. Your engine changes, being pre ADR27, won't be a problem either

Shannons: I have five cars insured with them 👍

I hear 3 for Shannons. My Type 3 Fasty is with them with all its mods and no hassle whatsoever and great price.
