Gaz Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Did you take it VTNZ? If you did then you will need to get a certifdied welder to do it and they will need to fill in the appropriate sheet which they should have. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwdlancer Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 kev would 50bux be enough for your efforts to cut the thing out? yea hadto take it to vtnz because of the green stiker. i was thinking about just riveting the new panel on.bacause it only ever was spot wleded into place when the car was made and i cant see how spot welds could be any stronger than rivets.then it would save me the money and time of going to a certified welder and all that.

Gaz Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Spot welds will be alot stronger than rivits. Either way you need to check with WOF man as its 100% up to him. RyanFells, just make sure it is covered up, WOF guys arnt allowed to move shit in your car. If they suspect something is wrong then they can ask but thats bout it. Make sure it is covered from both inside boot and inside cabind. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they suspect something there well within there rights to inspect, and that includes the likes of picking and poking at an area they think could be rusty etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeektoy Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Wrong!If they suspect something there well within there rights to inspect, and that includes the likes of picking and poking at an area they think could be rusty etc. Wrong!! they cant do anything to the vehicle unless u advise them they can. From the VIRM (wof inspection manual) 3.5 Establishing whether the vehicle complies 2. Visually inspect the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle complies with the requirements set out in this manual (see clause 3.1.2.2 of this Introduction). Vehicle inspectors are not required to remove vehicle components during the inspection of the vehicle. 5. Where the vehicle inspector requires further information in order to determine compliance with the requirements, the inspector must reject the vehicle until the information has been obtained. The reason i know this is because an inspector a number of years ago got his ass handed to him by his superiors after i went to the LTSA taking to the bottom of a vehicle with a small pickaxe and removing underseal and paint leaving bare metal (in no less than 8 places) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Fuck! I've had big dents put in one of my old cars due to suspected rust, old cunt told me it was fully within a wof inspectors right to do so, spouted a whole list of official sounding shit. meh still better that the fuckwit wof guy who tried to make me have a 8" section of one of my chassis rails cut out so he could inspect the inside of it.

OSM Garage Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 kev would 50bux be enough for your efforts to cut the thing out? Ill have a look over it on the weekend. Ill see how hard it is to drill out the spot welds. If not, ill have to get inventive with the angle grinder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwdlancer Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 ohkae bro cheers.would it be easier to cut out with the back window taken out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It would cost you about the same to take it into a certed welder and get the to fix/patch what is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 If done by a welder the WOF guy is happy with then yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 My val has had the tray cut. It was done at least ten years before anyone gave a fuck about shit like that. I'm going to use custom wood and box it all up so no one can see shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
