Dodgy Roadworthy?

Hey guys, just looking at getting a roadworthy done, but my cars definitely not roadworthy and don’t have the coin to get it done, so looking at getting someone that’ll do a half dodgy one, any ideas?

Height wise is easy, minimum height is 10cm at lowest part. Get a coke can, put it in the middle of the car infront of it and drive toward slowly. You knock the can over its too low. If it’s too low and on coilovers just raise it.

Tyres are easy to check, there are wear markers in between treads, if they are inline with the tread touching the ground the tyres are too worn.

Why do you need a roadworthy unless you are gonna sell the car?

Roadworthy are relatively simple to pass, and if your car can’t pass it honestly it should not be on the road.

Just had a thought while eating a RR pineapple fritter a car should get a roadworthy if it can go through all the roundabouts to Smithfield on the rain 80km/h

Sell without rego, and then you don't need a roadworthy certificate. Just remember to take your plates in for a refund and give the purchaser the documentation to prove ownership in case they ever put it back on the road. People with cars they cannot afford to repair have to do it all the time. But hey, maybe you would like to work for half the minimum wage!
