Our car is #38, built 08/03 so it had been sitting a while as well b4 we purchased it in 2008 and began the build.
It has Warwicks' double A arms up front. The other difference is no step in the chassis to accommodate the exhaust so it's been a pain to get 4" ground clearance. I've wound the shocks pretty much right up so it's up on tippytoes........looks a bit funny with so much clearance between the tyres and guards.
Our car was issued with a VIN yesterday so we'll be on to QLD Trans for an appt for final.
Wondering what the inspectors ask you to rectify?

I've checked the numbers and it looks like number 9 chassis built in April 2000. It is also the lengthened version - 100mm I think.
Apart from a couple of missing spring washers, a blocked windscreen sprayer and a loose number plate light connection, I had to move the steering column further away from the engine. It had been fitted in place by the previous owner and when the exhaust was added later, had minimal clearance. It was just a matter of widening the opening through the firewall and adjusting the column sideways about 15mm - took a few hours. Underbody clearance was fine as were brakes etc. It was a 6 week wait for a spot after obtaining the VIN and another 6 week wait for the second appointment. Sometimes, a different QT office may have an earlier vacancy. The inspector was very helpful and went through a comprehensive check of the build (was happy to have the extra set of eyes checking things over) Had to keep a close eye though on the set of keys dangling from the front of his belt but he was very careful with the paint.
Looks like the same colour on the Pontiac might be the Stryker blue in the US of A.
