What Pete said. The only paperwork you get with a mod plate is the receipt for payment.

The mod plate has: The reg number of the Approved Officer who approved everything.
A reference number - which identifies your specific mod approval in the system.
Then modification by: "owner" in your case.

Then the modification codes - these are most important as they tell you what the mod plate is for.

When I look at the pic, it seems to be:
LG2
LH6
LK1

Which means:
LG2 Brake System Substitution (Modification)
LH6 Individual and Low Volume Vehicles (Modification)
LK1 Seating Capacity Alteration and Seat Belt Installation

LH6 is the individually constructed vehicle mod code, which sounds strange, but maybe that was a way of getting the 6" increase in track width approved.

Either way, it looks to me like those codes cover the mods.

Needs quite a tidy up, but looks like a good project. I assume the steering is standard, as there is no LS2 code on the mod plate? ( LS2 Steering Conversion (Modification) )

Something to keep in mind, is that genuine coiler chassis have extra bracing where the the coil turrets, etc are welded on. You may want to check for cracks in those spots, and/or add extra bracing down the track.

Thanks for the info on the codes.

The plate is only part of the paperwork. It lists the code, but the paper work lists the details. For instance what if I change the engine and get it plated, then go stick a big block chev in the car and claim that is the modification referred to on the plate? The plate just lists the engine swap code, but the paperwork lists what the change actually was.

I had a car plated just a few weeks ago and the engineer told me to keep the paperwork in the car as this is what you are supposed to do. I have been pulled up in NSW in the past. The cops looked at the QLD mod plate and ask for the paperwork, which I didn't have. According to them, the code on the plate means nothing and they need to see the paperwork. They can't be expected to know the mod codes for every state.

In this case I think it'll be very hard to get a hold of the paperwork, but if I were to at least make an effort and get something it'd be better than nothing.

I had a look at it this arvo. The body is fairly good, not really any rust. The coil conversion is pretty good. Although there are a lot of little bits that need a work, so overall, there is a fair bit that needs doing to get it back to a driveable state. Not too bad, but I forgot how small they were. I guess because the last time I was in one I would have been 8 or 9.

Looks like it's back.

I wonder what it will go for this time?
