inspection

What I'm saying is that they PASSED the car with the spray foam.

HAHA okay.

that cheap shiny metal repair tape will cover it up if your looking for something really cheap and effortless to do for a short period of time

Great Stuff FTW!

About the dry rot, you can try using a good tire shine. Sometimes it'll hide small dry rot cracks. You could also get them real muddy, a lot of inspectors don't want to clean your wheels for you to find dry rot.

Haha, tire is completely cracked around the outside AND inside of the sidewall. Tire shine isn't covering this up. Hopefully they will get replaced, but I'm doubting it. Time to find a sketchy inspection station. So aggrivating.

Sorry to threadjack!

Theres a great plase on broad st in nashua across from dq right next to the train tracks. Guy doesn't see very well, so it's all good.

P.S. I am still still licensed to do state inpections so I know a little something. They only way the rust could fail is

1. sharp edges
2. hole into passenger compartment
3. safety issue

i like #3... i could see safety issue being used to cover a wide variety of things

I loved #3 when I did SI's because it gave a lot of lee-way (however that expression's spelled). Like technically if a car has no seat belts it doesn't fail, but I could consider that a safety issue and fail your ass :evil laugh:

basically if you like someone you can be like "doesnt cause any safety concerns" and if you dont like someone "hey XXXXX causes some safety concerns YOU FAIL"

Also consider that "modifying or deviating from manufacturer's specification" is technically illegal in NH and any state inspector can fail a car for it. My father is a has his SI license and his shop is really strict on that one.

I would personally sand and grind all the rust off then bondo and what not. Just because you say you will do it right later.....but how much later?? Out of site out of mind... Better off to atleast get rid of the rust first befor it spreads.

Yea me too..lol You'll look at it next week and be like " I should fix that right..... ahhh next week it's fine." 2 months later??? you look at it. "I still didn't fix that... it looks ok, it's not bubbling. I don't think it was really that bad.... I'll leave it till the bondo cracks.."
