Rust and rego
Would NSW inspectors pass a vehicle with surface rust but no structural rust?
cheers

havent checked it up, but believe nothing visible at all, hence the lack of rat-look cars with recent rego's

Well in Qld is if you are unlucky to get someone come out to the car and view it they will pick on the rust factor but if you dig/cut it out and then
put bog/putty in it thats fine
The only real time that someone comes out and checks the cars when you put new registration on it is when the engine and vin numbers do not match to
what the car was previously registered with

I had my bug MOT'd last month ( the yearly inspection - cars in the Uk stay with the same reg. plate their whole lives unless you get a personal
one )
I'd just fitted my carbs, timing was far too advanced ( only a short journey ) I had far too much brake pedal travel, a rocker box was leaking
onto my muffler so there was smoke everywhere :o no front licence plate either.... PASSED !! bonus ! doing my brakes this weekend !
rust ! rust.....everywhere !! : )

good stuff
Ya can pick up a dodge RW for bout $20, i did mine properly though, then got my backseat modified so people could actually sit in it. I had a fair
bit of rust, but the guy said that he'll pass it if i will go and get rid of the rust, so he was cool.

In Victoria you can get RWC with surface rust on panels. No structural rust or holes in panels allowed.
If you have someone who wont pass your ride for surface rust, then they don't know the guidelines very well.
Rat look is fine.
Ask the RWC guy to speak to his area supervisor if he doesnt understand this.
