As requested photos. Going to rego next week or so. It took a while i know 6 months in total.

That is a great looking Landy you have there. Leaving the body virtually 'as is' was a great move & no-one will knock you back for that at all providing there's no sharp protrusions.
The only thing they might query is what colour it is - silver or green .

Congratulations on a top job .

BTW, are you in Sydney? If so, can we see this fine specimen at the Expo next month?

The parts that you can see he has replaced in these fantastic pics show new seats, bumper, tyres, exhaust system. I bet he has a done heap more than just that too.

Good one LRO53 great to see the vehicle coming on and she certainly sits so well, you must have changed the springs too

Not true, that was not the intention of my posting.

My vehicle also had new seats and exhaust. One of the reasons that it was refused registration was the condition of the paintwork. This really annoyed me, considering there is a utility with the number plate resembling "RUSTEE 1" which is entered in the Bay To Birdwood Run every two years, which lives up to it's reputation. I wish that I would have been able to register my '49 with the body work looking like "as found condition", but with renewed mechanical and safety components.

Club registration dosent require a condition of the paint work.....as long as it mechanically sound and original...

Unless its been defected in the past, which would require inspection.

Even full rego in NSW doesn't require good paint. As long as it's not a hazard to pedestrians, you can have bare metal.

I think that they could knock it back on surface rust of the steel components even if it isn't invasive rust.

Hi there Diana........It would have to be excessive rust, eg holes in firewall etc.........

All the best

This was not the "originality" inspection for historic conditional registration. This was a roadworthy inspection centre. I am one of our club's inspectors for the conditional registration scheme.
