Solutions to these rust spots for roadworthy?
The battery tray is fucked. I’m not sure if I can remove it and replace or if I’ll just have to cut it off and maybe relocate battery to the boot? Second image is the bottom on the battery tray. It still holds a battery fine though and I have a little plastic cover for it, but I feel like it will fail RWC?
Also the headers. The whole exhaust is fucked but originally I was going to just go for a header-back custom exhaust. But now I’m thinking I’ll need new headers? Or should I just wire brush it? I don’t think there’s any leaks actually at the headers. It has a cover/heat shield and the cover is rusted but nowhere near as bad as the actual headers.
It’s a budget project car and my goal is to get it road worthy. It has no other rust spots like these other than the fuel tank which I already solved.
I’m in Tasmania if it’s relevant for roadworthy laws.
