Hey guys,

just a general wondering. Does anyone know a mechanic who does roadworthy certificates in the melbourne area? who may be... not so firm as others.
I know the new rules include taking photo's bla bla. Just wonderingWhat are your experiences?

My zook has minor rust, one in the passenger floor.. that is all. apart from that the odd lamps, possible brakes etc.

any recommendations would be great.

Where abouts are you?? Do as much yourself as ou can and leave the big shit for them

In Tullamarine.

you will find it hard now mate.....

they have to take photos of everything and store them for so long.....get a breaking print out....

in saying that they are always people who will turn a blind eye to certain things!

Better just to fix the problems.
I had all that and more on my last sierra, cost about $150 to fix, over looking tire size is one thing, but rust, brakes and lights is another.

wouldnt you rather have a car that is safe?

[Daves4wd]

Get Racv to do a roadworthy test I think its about $100 and they give you a list fix what you can And shonky roady can cost up to $2000 just not worth it if it's a mega race car or comp truck

mmmm true, i will book it in next week. Depends how fast i can get my hands on someone to weld a new piece to the floor panel. ill See how i go!

keep you posted.

[Daves4wd]

You got a pic if how bad it is??

[4x4xzook]

not bad, its about the size of a 50cent peice. i will take some photos tonight.

Why do u ask dave?

[Daves4wd]

It could be easy enuff to fix if you have basic welding skills but they might not pick on it you wouldn't beleave what mine past with broken seat mounts that I found after the roady got done but he wasn't picky he's been caught now

[4x4xzook]

loll i guess ill just cover it up with carpet and see how i go.
FINGERS CROSSED.

[Goodtime]

Just bog and paint it

[shakes]

alot of mechanics will have a panel beater mate who would do something simple like that for the cost of a slab or two.
