and after all that effort she didnt pass :cry:
believe it or not (i didnt i got uner the car to check) shes too low! measures 94mm under exhaust flanges near gearbox and on the "rubbers" on swaybar on front. so i got some stock springs to sit her on at the front to get here up over 110mm. seatbelts didnt pass so i ordered some newies and they should be here next week a undersize drum brake (got a spare s'all good) and i forgot to put the inspection cover on gearbox :banghead:

was a good laugh watching a 70 year old 7 foot tall mechanic accidently doing skids on the rocks though. he giggled hahahaa.

next week!

Sounds like a pretty easy list. This was the first inspection yeah? They will always find something for you to fix... I've been known to deliberately leave obvious things for them to pick up on... If there is nothing... They will go looking..

ok second attempt goes in for r/worthy friday rego friday afternoon. finally got her up a bit and shes now sitting 120mm at the swaybar mount and looks rediculous!!!
new seatbelts are foul ended up painting them so they wernt so "hyandai", drums and cylinders all done and inspection cover belted into place (stupid extractors). was having some issues with spark etc ended up ripping everything out and starting again. using same stuff that was there before she seems to be running fine now *shrugs* havent given her some legs yet to see whether shes still breaking down at high revs but ill do that on the way to roadworthy place friday, if it is... ill question the old dude there, save you guys trying to figure it out LOL
wish her luck, i'll be pissed if he picks something else!

He can't pick anything else...

He should have given you a list of things to do, you go fix them... Take it back, he ticks them off and gives you a RWC... They normally never find something else that they missed before...

in bris you have to take it back for second inspection within 14 days

guessing it's a new rwc... not fix the old one

Yeah, just get standard Rego, and order plates at a later date when you work out your absolute favourite! No use rushing and settling for 2nd best
