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

Tax is in the bank, let the repairs begin

Small photo dump of how it sits today

So what happens now? Is the car doomed? Or can it pass the notice or something

[Thom]

He has to return it to stock and fix anything they found to be broken/leaking or whatever to clear it.

Yeah it has to pass the defect station, already bought a couple hundred dollars with of parts and tools

Exactly

For you non-Aussies, retarded things can put your car off the road with a major defect in South Australia. Three minor defects equal a major defect. Such as: no water in washer bottle, no tyre sticker in door jam, odometer not working, etc

[Nick475]

Lol all 3 of those things are missing/broken on my car

Yeah my odometer doesn't work lmao oh well, hopefully they don't notice. Can also be major defected for bigger and better brakes and suspension far superior than OEM specs. I don't know how any of those things make a car so unsafe that SAPOL deem it unroadworthy, more revenue raising scum moves. The other day the SA police had a blitz where 60 police converged in one spot pulling over 1,200 cars for "random breath tests" (now just a guise for a defect station) and 3 people were done drink driving, 12 people were done drug driving, whilst 90 people were issued defect notices, in total fines worth ~$16,000 were issued. No doubt in my mind the people defected weren't rusty shitboxes that are actually unsafe but properly modified cars that people take pride in. I **** this country.

This is the shit we put up with, this is in a different state from me but it's the same. When questioned about the obvious targeting, the police replied "if you want candy you go to the candy shop"
