Hey Guys,

 

Need some help as I have never ran a car thru regency for road worthy!!

 

Issue:

Originally purchased a MA61 as a street legal track car but upon stripping more then expected rust was present(SURPRISE??).... about 7 inches either side below the front windscreen is rusted out :( decided a donor car was needed and purchased a almost rust free MA61 without a sunroof! but is defected(Tread,a few lights & replaced steering column)..

 

Question:

would it be best to get the defected removed and use that as a base or stick to original plan of cut n welding front section of window shelf & fiberglass/cut n weld sunroof?(Sunroof panel rusted, replacements are ~$100)

 

No Flames about it's your decision blah blah I am asking more about your experience with regency as I 'am projecting it to be around $500 to remove the defect ($330 first inspection + $37 second + parts)

 

Thanks for any Feedback!

rust is crap.

 

id say it would be better in the long run to use the least rusted car...and get the defect cleared.

hahah heard this happen many times, people buying donor cars that are better condition than the project car, and most of them use the donor car.

 

I love Ma61's post some pic's got a build thread?

I wouldn't count on getting it through regency the first time round they will always find something

 

with all the cars i have taken through none have ever passed first time and these are late model cars

good luck mate :)

Less rusty one for sure mate, sunroofs are over rated anyways sure they look cool, but eventually leak and rust around the roof and thats bad bads,

 

I say get under the defected one, replace everything that you think a mechanic would pick on, I.e everything visually facked, then take it in and see how it goes :D

 

Good luck with whatever you choose

Cheers Guys, Pretty sure going to use less rusty one now... even tho it has more dents :(

 

Here's a pic of rusted section just for show LOL!
