Compliancing A Rusty Pre 1988 Skyline

[D-limo]

Hey guys,

I have cought scent of a Skyline with some structural rust. Car is uncomplianced and falls under the old 15 year rule. Car was imported prior to 2004. I assume compliance was attempted after it arrived but it didn't pass.

Now I obviously want to get this car on the road. I know a good panel beater who offers very competitive rates.

I have requested the VIN to check everything is ok with DOTARS.

what are the pitfalls of a project like this? Any guidance is welcomed!

First things first - where do you live? Requirements for registration vary from state to state.

Hey Chef, thanks for your input.

I'm in QLD.

if it failed compliance and they told the dept of transport it failed, then you will never be able to comply it/register it in australia.

Cars imported under the old 15 year rule (now the 88 and older rule) cant fail compliance as in qld Its just a mod plate to show new seatbelts / side intrusion bars etc are fitted. It has nothing to do with the actual condition of the car however you might find engineers may not want to put their mod plate on a rusty heap of junk

I think that's what he was saying
