  1. Thanks for your input - not trying to avoid certification as there is some other stuff i have to get certified, but if i have to re-engineer the rollcage/seatbelt frame or the chassis strengthining thingy is just a PITA and more cost sunk but hey - sigh if its got to be done its got to be done.
  2. So how is it registered as a convertible now? Could it not have been like the Daytona Beach Buggy, where it was brought into New Zealand, and sold as a new Car as a beach buggy and therefore no certificate was required?
  3. I have a 1962 Volkswagen Beetle - which was made into a convertible, in 1997 it appears to have been re-vinned with new plates and is now currently registered as a VW Beetle Convertible . I am unsure if it was registered as a Convertible prior to this date. As far as i know everything currently on it - Seatbelt Frame/Roll Cage, Chassis Strengthen, Bigger Tyres and Wheel Spacers have been on it since it was built. LVVTA has no declaration or modification documentation for it, and NZTA tell me it has no record of modification since it was registered as a converitble. Now occasionally when i take it some where for a WOF i get questioned as to where the cert is, and the last guy insisted i get it completely certified. I intend to increase the engine size, change the seats and add front disk brakes, which i know i need to get certified, but i want to avoid having to redo the major components like the chassis or the roll bar/seatbelt frame, just cause it was done prior to 1997 or earlier.
  4. HI Can anyone explain the Grandfathering system that the LVVTA use and how it applies? Thanks
