Another project I’ve got my eye on. Former race car, small British convertible from 1964. It’s got a lot of genuine period modifications but racing has become relatively inaccessible so the idea is to seek full rego - rather than be bound by historic registration and club membership.
I believe it needs engineering, as the carbs are Webers, it has a roll cage fitted and not sure on seats/belts. It also has an acrylic aero screen/deflector instead of full glass, wiper and heater delete. Ground clearance is reduced but suspension points appear unaltered, as also steering. What I’m wondering about, is what kind of net costs are typically encountered for an engineer’s certification in NSW when there’s likely no need for weld identification, crack testing, fabrication to spec. Curious to further hear any more recent opinions on NSW registration with respect to things like the above, it also has full bumper deletes and I’d consider fitting a dual master cylinder to be sensible despite unoriginal. |
