As you know, laws vary from state to state. Over in WA we can rego a "Cycle Fendered" VolksRod if we go by the same rules as hiboy hotrods, in terms
of how much tyre is covered by the guard...
I bought a set of fibreglass cycle fender style guards off a 32 Ford hiboy, but am not yet sure if I'll use those, or go with a smaller alloy
set..
The mounting brackets bolt to your suspension components and travel with them, thus, the tyre to fender gap remains a constant, irrespective of wheel
travel..
The laws that pertain to "Hotrods" in WA, do not class a VW as a donor vehicle for use as a hotrod, (I think this may be due to the age of the
vehicle, but I'm not 100% sure on that point), however, the Good news is, the car does Not get registered as a "Hotrod" but rather as a VW, thus
the car is Not subjected to the rigerous tests, checks, scruitineering, begging, pleading and general B/S that goes along with building a genuine
rod...!!!
Great news... It means we can build a Volksrod, have a Real Cool looking car, and Register it as a normal car...
Win Win...
You'll need to check your own local state laws for definitions on what you guys can do over there, but I hope this might help clear up something...

Maybe talk to Rod Hadfield at Castlemaine rod shop.
He aint NSW but he will know the go.
So would an engineer who does rods.
I'd love to build one myself but I'm guessing you'd be pushing shit uphill here in this nazi rta police state.

guards
I,m going through engineering in vic and at the moment all the states are trying to align there adr rules so contact a registered engineer in your
state .on the rear they may look if anyone could come in contact with the exhaust or engine because some one got burnt on the exposed exhaust on a
cobra now they have to be consealled.
