Paul,
Minimum tread depth anywhere on a tyre must be above 1.5mm irrespective of
tread wear indicators. The professional finish is a bit much, there are
plenty of cars in primer on the roads around here as there's nothing to say
that it has to be a "professional" finish. As long as there are no shape
edges and the trim is all there then it's roadworthy - have you got a gob's
inspection alternative for a ruling.
pass on the costs, someone in Qld will know the local stuff, most rego
authorities have web sites these days. This looks like a good starting
point: http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/home.nsf
regards
Terry

Subject: roadworthy
I tried to get a roadworthy on my 200B and they knocked it back...they want
4 new tyres even
though they arent below the indicator marks...and they didnt like my body
work...he wanted a "more
professional finish" on the bonnet and I told him I wasnt going to keep that
bonnet and he crapped
on "well you have to show me the one you are going to use" but I havent
aquired one yet...anyway
he said the brakes were like a bought one so that is one good thing...I'm
getting quite a bit of
mechanical noise at 100k/h though, is that standard datsun issue? It's a 4
speed manual...maybe I
should check the diff oil or something.
What's rego worth for 6 months in qld these days? I already got compulsary
third party
insurance...and how much are preffered plates...you used to be able to pick
the letters you want if
they were still available, and within the range.
