I have the typical rust on my new AE86, wheel arches, around where the rear quarter meets the door, etc.
I am doing the repairs myself and using a polyester-based fibreglass resin and woven fibreglass fabric (as opposed to matting).
I want to get this baby roadworthy and I have a couple of questions:
Provided I do a solid job, will I run into any problems getting a roadworthy?
It sounds to me like this really depends on the mechanic and their interpretation of the rules. The roadworthy requirements on the vicroads website () seems a very vague (what counts as "structural"? What constitutes a "faulty" body repair?).
I'm thinking of maybe taking a bunch of progressive photos of my rust removal work if there are questions, since the mechanic cant see the rust removal (or lack thereof) under the fibreglass and can't be sure that I havent just bogged and primered over the rust.
I'm really keen to get to work on this, but I don't want to spend all my time restoring a car just to never see it registered.
BTW New user, sorry if I'm in the wrong section.
