iv taken all out from rear seats backwards and all the trim but the dash (centre console, gear stick surround gone) iv organised for my doors to have a alluminium plate cut so i can only have the door release latch on it and then the mirrors and window switchs mounted on a custom board where the stereo was

i also wanted to get wider fenders in the rear and fit a better looking kit (have uras one that i want to change) and some bride seats fitted

any ideas if all this is p plate legal?

I've been doing research on the same topic and interior wise it's all legal. All you need is dash, door trim, no sharp edges and no holes in the cabin. Rear seats can be taken out and left without a mod plate as long as the seat belts are still there but it's alot easier if you just get it mod plated to a 2 seater.

"For vehicles fitted with bolt in seating structures, no approval by

an Approved Person is necessary for the temporary removal of

seats, provided the category of the vehicle does not change as a

result of the seating reduction."

Just try and keep it as safe and simple as possible. If it looks like a shit box then you'll get all kinds of the wrong attention. Also, have a look through the transport website...

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
