Thats ****ed mate, I'm trying to think of ideas? By all means put a n/a motor in it, you threw a rod on the weekend didn't you theres nothing illegal with changing it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

call the Hastings police office and ask to speak to Senior Constable Turner about the letter he sent, then you will know if its legit and if it is say it aint even driving atm blown the gearbox up or motor is out of it atm for a rebuild ect and see what he has to say about that. might extend the date you have to take it in.

id be looking 2 do what "GMFA18" said take the engine out and put a NA in and just tell them the motor blew or something but only if they question it..... may cost a bit and take time but its better than getting defected and or fines!

do what peekin 86 sayed... ring them and say i took it to calder and blew the motor and its out getting built... what can they say??? trailer it here?? then just take out the motor and trailer it there... then you cant get done for anything... unless they wanna defect you for not having a motor???

damn curtis... thats hardcore. Ring him up and have a chat. Hastings TMU are HARD ASSES, so taking your car down there you're coming home with major fines. Im pretty sure your car is broken next week and not transportable Then think of what to do! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
