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?

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.
1971 Type 3 Fasty - EJ20T
I love 242HP sleepers. 
How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 
UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list. |
