Well you might remember Wibble selling his Baja, well this is it now a few grand down the track, still defective, but its getting there. Cage isnt good enough even though its professionally built and installed :? I beleive its going into for a reinspection on the 29th.

Why is the rear cage defective?

Did they give you a reason?

I couldnt remember everything but Im pretty sure it was because the bottom wasnt protected, Im sure he can complain to the shop he got it done at.

The battery not being properly secured,

The Washer for his windscreen not working, But I think he forgot to hook it up,

The bumper bar Obscuring the Headlights,

The Lplate light not working, Probably just a bulb, was working before.

So a few things :@ oh well, its nearly there

What a crock of ^%#%^# , George at Custom Offroad has been building those cages for over 20 years and never had a problem with main roads. I have put 10 or so cars through inspection with that exact cage on it and they have never battered an eye lid. I think they are having a go at your expense, who is inspecting it ?

Other than that is looks good, when are you gunna come out and play ??

Dunno Brad, Alot of work was done to the car by george, I was also wondering why it was knocked back, I mean at first we bought fencing wire and wraped it around, haha lots of laughs by mechanics, anywho. Ill pass it onto dan, It was inspected at zillmere. Maybe he will get lucky and go with another inspector :/

Puts me right off buying a baja/buggy this lengthy rego process
