Soooo... after hearing back from the compliance inspector & a few discussions later with the repairer, looks though I will be proceeding with the repairs.
The only reason this car is not a track car is that fortunately I have the original pics of the car when it was damaged. Apparently if I didn't have them, this mr2 would never see the road again.
Some of you are probably asking yourselves why..... Main reason I am having to go thru this expensive process, is because I don't have any pics of the repair process that was untaken at the time it was initially repaired, so now I am having to go thru the whole repair process again & provide photographic evidence thru out every step :-((
So here's what's required:
1. Have the front nose section unpicked & removed (front firewall section only) where the headlights mount.
2. Repair any damage & respray (undo any work & redo as to provide pictures)
3. If any parts are required, doner car & owner details must be provided, eg.. compliance plate numbers, source location etc.
4. Once complete & pictures of the whole process are taken, it will be checked over for a road worthy, from the repair (who also used to be an inspector).
5. Followed by an Engineering report (this is to confirm all repairs have been done to correct standard & legit).
6. Followed by a Tier 2 inspection (repairs & evidence are inspected at Regency).
7. Followed by a Tier 3 inspection (basically a fully road worthy inspection on entire car at Regency).
8. If all goes well, I then can take all required paperwork to the motor registration office & new plate, registered in my name & get it back on the road. \
Here's a pic of the car when it was damaged.
