Tote,
The FOI thing is a furphy - though I appreciate that is what you were told. Did you speak to Wendy McDonald in the Grafton RTA office as she does these herself.
I will see if I can track down the correct form and post the link.
Cheers
Garry

Ok - just spoke to the relevant area - Wendy is no longer there and I spoke to a Tony Moss who knows all about the process. The number of the Grafton Office is (02) 66049392 and you ask for Tony.
This is the form you use http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/publicatio...s/45070476.pdf but you can simply write a letter. Either is to be faxed to (02) 66402895. The cost is $19.
You must provide all the information you have on your vehicle incl year, model, chassis number, engine number, know rego details etc - as much as you can. Likewise if it was last registered before 1984 there may be no details in the system so you get nothing.
Going through the form
Section 1 - tick own record and then go to Section 5
Section 5 - Your own information - as well as your licence number you need to scan or photo copy your licence and send it in too.
In the other customer information section of Section 5 you need to outline exactly what information you want - usually attach a separate sheet (include your contact telephone number). I usually list all the information on the vehicle you have (as outlined above) - include a copy of your receipt if you have one and ask for all information on the vehicle (such as engine number etc) that the RTA has that does not break privacy rules.
Section 6 - sign etc
Last page - fill out the credit card details - cost is $19.
Normally a copy of your licence and the credit card details is enough to meet POI requirements, but if in doubt ring Tony Moss.
Then Fax and you should get a letter back in a couple of weeks.
Hope this helps
Garry
Thank you Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar, I'll chase it down tomorrow.:)

Hey Tote
I was one of the guys crawling around it at the Murrumbateman showgrounds when you called in with it.
I'm still jealous!
It's lookin' good.
some more progress and some more questions.....
I seem to have grown an extra crossmember....

More paint stripped from the tub, I'm using citrus paint stripper and a Gernie that I got for Xmas, thanks to those who love me :D

The tailgate has more paint than anywhere else

It looks like there is a single coat of grey underneath the red oxide primer as well, would this be a primer or the original colour? It looks like the taillights that replaced the pork pies predate the blue paint. It will be interesting to see what layers of paint are on the additional crossmember. Also, what would have been underneath the left hand taillight, looks like there has been an oval (Land Rover?) badge with another rectangular one with rounded ends below it.
No signwriting or clues to origin yet though.

Oh, and I think she will be called Geraldine.........
Not for any particular reason other than to stop the females of the house referring to her as "the bomb"

Grey will be the original colour - most of that model were grey in Australia, and there is no undercoat or primer. The extra crossmember will have been added to deal with butchering the front crossmember to fit a Holden engine I expect.
The oval patch will have been a Landrover badge as you surmise, but I have no idea what the rectangular one will be - probably a distributor or dealer plaque is the best guess. Remember that there was no such thing as contact adhesive at that date, so all such things were either bolted on or were transfers on glass, which is a bit short on the rear end of a 107!

Hi there
The extra cross member has been fitted due to the holden 6 being a longer engine - and the front radiator shroud being moved forwards.
the extera cross members is to mount the radiator on - well to give it more strength.
The paint stripping method works well - I did the same when doing my S1 Fire Engine.
All the best

This is a Qld reg series 1 owned by my brother in law a couple of years ago. It looks like the same blue as yours.
At least the extra crossmember makes me feel happier about the original with the steering relay only being half there :)Quote:
