Upper Middle Petrol Head:

Followers of P3P may remember that a full set of replacement seat belts*, clear gauge lenses, a short length of exhaust pipe, and a new sill and inner brace were all that was preventing it passing a rego check, as we Aussies call it.  Whatever you might coin that process - be it a roadworthy, an MOT or a pink slip - I'm very, very happy to say that P3P is now a totally road legal member of the UMPH fleet! The last pieces of the puzzle - the sill and driver's side luggage compartment brace - were completed a few weeks ago, earning the car its long-awaited Tasmanian registration plates.  I've had to go full rego, rather than SI ( Special Interest , which is our state's equivalent to vintage or club registration in other Australian jurisdictions), because SI regulations are being savagely enforced with only cars deemed to be "immaculate" able to qualify for the scheme.  Immaculate P3P is not! The repair to the luggage compartment brace, shown above, has been nice
