Ratty Mk1 Golf

Cheers man, can't believe you had a WL!!! My mate with the turbo one has one and has previously owned two which turned out to be mock ups. He's currently chasing an owner down now as there's one sitting in Edwardstown haha

Pics related, it's my Laser and my mate's carby turbo Laser

Hopefully all can be fixed. It would be a shame for bureaucrats to deem your car inoperable.

Damn straight haha. Already on the way to being done

when i clicked the thread, i aksed myself what would that first car look like properly done

Probably sweet, my mate turbo'd his and he's got heaps of rare Jap options. Heaps quick and looks cool as. Still stock height on 15s though and I can't talk him into coils haha

god australia sounds like a bitch. ive heard so many stories of cars getting impounded now

Man, you guys don't know the half of it. Australian police target car people like American cops target black people (or so I've seen in movies etc)

Seeing as the Adelaide chapter of S|W seems to have dissolved (on FB at least) me and a mate are forming Lucky 13 Car Club, for rats and VWs! yaaaaaay


BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH

I lol'd.

So my car got defected today to you non-Aussies, basically the police think my car is unroadworthy due to the "eyebrow height" (distance between the top of the wheel arch to the centre of the wheel) being too low. The Golf will need to be sent to a vehicle inspection station and here in South Australia that means the infamous evil Regency Park, the place modified cars go and are never let on the road again, so there's a 95% chance this is the end of the road for the poor ol girl.

Fuck I **** Australian modification rules.

And then I lol'd some more.

New whip, daily duties only while I fix the Golf



interestingly enough, it's identical to my first car

[RatJack]

It will get double defected if it doesn't pass which is the worst thing that could happen. I'll be spending as much as possible to get it passed. My checklist so far:
REGENCY CHECKLIST
Brake discs (mine are grooved as shit)
Brake master cylinder (blown seal inside, may just need a seal kit)
Exhaust (redone or re welded)
Sump (buying a whole spare engine so will get it off that, mine's bashed flat #loweredlife)
Front suspension (new springs and struts)
Rear suspension (sorted)
Bushes (eBay)
Windscreen (mine has a tiny chip in it, might ring O'Brians and get that stuff injected in it)

Here's a couple of pics of my car after it was defected and my mate's Corona shortly before getting defected (fuuuuuck)




Also, I've been made head of the Modern Day Ratters South Australian chapter. wweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
