how little rust) you can have to get a roadworthy in victoria?

Looks good Tim.. I think I know what is brewing for the heart of this thing..
Tim, I tend to agree with *did*, and say surface rust is okay, but not structural or holes..

Yes, thats about what I thought. I may have a couple of holes to fix here and there, but want to leave what I can as is. (most of whats immediately
apparent that is)
I have a 2275 that'll go in it, along with some sway bars I bought off here a little while back. Its already on an irs pan.
Some good tyres and a review of the brakes.
Inside I was thinking minimal as well, (its about as minimal as you can get now - no linings, no seats, no headliner...
I was thinking only putting on some door cards and front seats (some kind of race bucket). Maybe a roll bar.
Anyone know whos good in the Melb/Geelong area for roll bars?
Also do I have to put a rear seat in to be legal? I was thinking of just going bare bones.
I'm going to have fun with this one.:thumb

Nice one!
I think if you leave out the rear seat then it will be registered as a two seater, the only implications being that you can only legally carry two
passengers
I hope to register my rat bug in the near future too.
