    Yeah the usual nonsense. Undo all the emission gear and chuck it out. I put wheel studs in the holes in the head.

    Patch up the tank as Golfwise says.

    Steering needs to be fixed for safety.

    I always find a dodgy mechanic for a roadworthy. The ones that check the vin number and then write the chit are best. Keep driving round till you get someone to do it. RWC is for the legalities. Safety is up to you.

    Wheels things is BS go somewhere else.

      actually.. just thinking about this wheel thing.. and i remember reading something on the vicroads website about this a while ago. They said that u werent allowed to go mor than 1" greater in width. The diameter shouldnt matter as the rolling circumference is still the same if u have the right tyres.
      I think the main concern is when u put extra stress on components when u widen the track.
      Id really seek clarification on this from vicroads. theyre the only ones that will give u the correct answer

        I actually got lucky. The guy i bought it off forgot to date the transfer papers, so i can actually drive it around for a whole year without stressing. Once I get the RWC, ill just fill in the date

          In NSW you are allowed to go 15mm larger diameter.

              Here in Tas we don't have checks and we can virtually do what we like.

                Whatever you do...Make sure you fix that steering properly :!: Also if he forgot to date the transfer papers any speeding fines, parking tickets etc will go to him, not you. Could be a source of
