Hi team, its been a while since i've thrown a thread up and its nearly time to get the red girl registered. Some questions might be no brainers and some might be a little ambiguous but any help would be great.

The shorty is not lifted and i wanna run 33s (soon to get a 3inch lift so should be fine after that) but wasn't sure if clearance would be a great issue, remembering that its only to pass a roadworthy thus far, i know they will scrub if taken offroad. The plan is 15x33x12.5 Maxxis Buckshots.

How tollerable are roadworthies with rust, mine has only a little bit, which in saying that is mainly surface and only in patches the size of a 50c coin

The list of things to do at this stage are:
Rear wheel bearings
Rear brakes including slave cylinders
Left hand indicator won't blink (works too well)
New front windscreen
Wheels and Tyres (which I have the wheels)
New rear muffler
Change oils

It currently doesn't have the genuine rear glass window as I can't get hold of one to suit the steel style canopy (if anyone knows of one please message me). I don't see how this could be a problem as I have made a polycarbonate one which uses the gas strutts and the genuine locking system.

These are the wheels

I'll give them one more polish, you can see the difference a sand and paint make.

This is what the old girl looks like now. As you can see the manufactured rear window. Not really like the fiberglass models.

Oil all over stuff ,yeah best if its all cleaned off (helps with looking for leaking issues as well)
All stuff like lights,blinkers ect must be all working
If the front indicator(or back) flashes to fast as apposed to any other its a blown bulb
Opposite to the one thats flashin
(IE if the front flashes fast the rear is blown and vise versa)
Depending where the rust is and who you know ,some inspecters can turn a blind eye
(definately not all)
50c piece holes,just wack some bog in it,and make it look nice
IF in doubt,go down to a RWC place and see if they can give you a blank RWC
That will give you a list of all the things they will check
