my car's got front fender dented like squashed in (near headlight), no holes or anything not that bad nothins coming off or anything. Roof's got hail damage dents rear left door is scratched (bare metal can bee seen as paint came off) and dented
Will this pass QLD RWC?
How about ignition barrel? I got one but you can use any key as the previous owner change the ignition barrel with something weird its just got that like a "T" hole on it, so a flat screw can just start the car or any key. Or do I have to change this with proper one?
cheers

I think your only problem would be the bare metal on the panels... RWC testers are tight arses when it comes to rust, so if theres anything that looks remotely like rust or something that may promote it then you may not pass.
They are more likely to pass a car that looks like it has been cared for than something that looks like a piece of shit.

if it was registered when you got it then yeah i recon only bare metal would be an issue, also with front damage as long as there is nothing sharp/protruding that could cause harm then thats fine.

Put some paint on the bare metal bits, that should sort that out.
The igniton barrel wouldn't pass, that's pretty dodgy...they'll have a reason for it not passing, like that if you can take the key out while the car is still running, it might fall out and you won't be able to turn it off. Rectify that, and you should be right.

If the thing has been butchered, I doubt it'll pass!
