also, are the steps finished now?
Sort of, decided the steps were starting to turn into an avoidance thing rather than doing the front suspension issues.
The replacement LED tail lights have arrived, the LED number plate light to replace the 26 yr old one that suddenly wasn't bright enough and the full set of LED clearance lights, so they can't say they aren't matching or something ......
Unfortunately, if I have to put the Winnie over the SA pit inspection, there is every chance the body work won't pass because one of the bin doors has the fibreglass skin fractured and sticking out a bit, and the rear bumper needs straightening after using it to stop the Winnie rolling backwards down the hill on the Nerriga road incident, and then making it worse when I cleaned up the rego bloke in Balranald's gate post backing out ..... I nearly felt bad about that, but I got over it, the broken reverse light lense that I can't get a replacement for did hurt though .....
Then, there is the chance of them failing it because the paintwork is a bit rough .... I kid you not, they have a history of doing just that in the past .....

The last enquiry, we had to go to Regency Park, the Murray Bridge inspection place is not operating at the moment ..... might be staffing issues or something.
We will enquire again when we are closer to the time .....

That's a bummer if right. There has to be other places rather than way over the city. The guy from the city place used to come to MB every week or two.Keep on to them
