[V8Vairs] Getting a V8 car certified

[k k]

This is why i do not participate in online forums comments, like this are
typical of "you" people Gord is well aware of what the car needs and is
capable of fixing all the items that need attention and he is NOT
complaining about the car just asking for valid opinions not jack ass
comments

 

In the Province of Alberta they brought in a program for out of province
cars to pass inspection to get registered to drive! Call it a Nazi state if
you want, but the law was brought in to stop eastern criminals from bringing
rusty garbage to Alberta. The flaw in the plan is for specialty cars like
Gords car, I know because I have 2 V8 vairs and had the certified. Selection
of the shop is more important than the inspection unfortunately if a shop
passes a car and its not "right" the shop ( and tech ) can be finned and
lose its licence in the province.

 

So unless you have some thing to positive contribute no need to be a jack
ass about it

   IF  this  guy  needs  a  certification, ... HE  needs  a  used  Corvette
[with  a  warranty] , not  a  V-8  'Vair ...

Tell 'em to F.O. 

These cars are for hands on people like us, if buyer doesn't want to jump in
and get his hands dirty, this isn't his kind of car. 

These cars are always giving us fits about everything, that's why we always
try something and then improve upon it. 

Engine cover.....my ass, I'm not even going to install one.....

being really sticky or what. Car drives straight, stops good, all glass
good, all lights work, horn works, all new wiring, new tires, etc. His list
of wants in order to certify are, new steering rack( I have one), all new
rubber bushings front and rear, engine has oil leaks( B.S. just did all
gaskets- its the steering pump that leaks) no defrost fan, wants new rear
brake hardware( brake shoes are fine), antifreeze leak (one small
intermittent drip) no neutral safety switch, leaking front wheel cal (good
to know), engine cover must be metal and did not like the seat belts.  So
much for Crown originality. A lot of these issues I'm aware of and want to
fix as I go but for him to certify the car has to be pristine! I'm feeling a
little pissed! Anyone else running into this crap?
