Update (12/8/2011)

So i took it to the road worthy centre about 2 weeks ago, And its currently up to scratch, But i had to fix a couple of little things..
They were:
2 new tyers (bought 4 new ones and got it aligned)
fixed gear stick light (reflector fell down)
replaced back number plate light
greased up a door handle
screwd down speakers

Their is just one thing left, And that is that there is a slight hole in the center muffler. Which i can get welded up but if that doesn't work i have to replace the whole lot..
I got quoted $120 if i have to get the whole lot replaced.

I was also thinking instead of replacing the muffler to just take the whole muffler and put like an exhaust tube in it's place, pretty much get rid of it. But i was wondering if that was legal or would it be to loud? whyat do you guys think?
cheers!

depending where the hole is u can get muffler wrap.. just a bandage sorta thing and wrap it around...

as well as just putting a piece of pipe in its place i dont think it would be to loud, depends on your setup.. Extractors/rear muffler or resonator/Cat is still good etc etc..

Alll iv'e really done since the last update is bought some touch up paint and fixed up all the bumpers and door moulds and bought some centre caps and some new tyers!

So at the moment i am just saving up all the money for rego, muffler and to go in for the road worthy again, so should all be happening and on the road in the next 2 or 3 months!

once it's on the road its time for the MODS!

Here's a couple of pics untill then..
