my `76 GOLF 3dr

Bad luck buddy!
I was just down at VP myself today about roadworthy's... Cause my car is poo! (your car is looking better than mine at the moment)

I read the guide online. Essentially a RWC is not a document to say the car is 100% mechanically good, just safe to drive on the road.

I am very suprised about the tyre thingo! In victoria, you are allowed to have wheels no wider than 2" from standard. Diameter is not the issue. lol. were your stockies 13x4's? LOL!!!

Bad luck with the seal thingo!

Talk to dean! He's straight to the point and very helpful!

You're almost there dude!
ROCK ON!

did yours look like complete stock? stock wheels, black bumper etc? cause I think I may have seen it!

Yea the wheels thing is wack. he mentioned something about the offset being different, and causing the wheels to scrub and thats the unroadworthy part. meh. I should be able to get it fixed...

Unfortuntaley with the seat belts, there aren't many options. buy a brand new one for $160 from VP or don't pass roadworthy.. I'll probably borrow one for the roadie, and buy a new one later on.

vic rwc's can be alot of fun
you would find most cars with mags would be unroadworthy
you can not increase the trac on a macpherson strut front end !
but most roadworthiers don't look to hard
but spacers a big no no !
and your wheel not aloud to touch any part of gaurd in out lip nothing
they can even ping you for the seal across the rain tray that seals bonnet
cause you can get engine fumes into your vent system
over all i think you did pretty well
not a huge list
and that 7 days thing is a bitch
that vic roads for you

Nah I got it done at Kmart T&A, figured they'd be easier than the RTA!
I left the spacers on as a distraction, so they'd notice that and be like yea, fix that and it'll be alright.

The 7 days, is just so I don't have to pay to get my car roadied again. If I go back with everything fixed, they just give me the other slip, and I go on my way.

Interestingly though. the back wheels would foul the rear suspension, but I'm pretty sure the fronts are fine, no fouling on anything, so they should be legal!

does anyone know the standard offset of mk 3 steelies? mk 1 steelies standard offset is 38 isn't it?

Can't tell you what the offset is, but they'll fit a mk1. A mate of mine in town has a mk1 4 door with mk3 steelies.

yea everyone does basically. the guys at the shop donno what they're on about. i think it's 45, just from looking at the wheel, but I'm not 100% sure.

Good luck on the RWC
