Not Ranked
Registered at last !!!
Went to vicroads yesterday and registered the car. Was very lucky with the guy who I had as he was pretty lenient on things.
Saw my engine number then laughed  and said where did you get that from as he recognized it as a US motor, I said I made it up and he just said "I didnt hear that"  Then he said you cant register without w/screen so we went inside while he conferred with my engineer, then said I had to return to engineer so he could remove any reference to ARD#'s which mentioned glass/wipers on certificate. I did this returned to vicroads without cobra and he was sweet. So he only looked at the car for about 1 minute in total and that was only under the bonnet!. I had all chrome bezels fitted, chrome mirrors and he never questioned them. Only real drama was that as he new the value of what he had seen he said $40k was going to be the minimum market value of it so it cost me $1600 in F^%%&G s/duty. Well I new it was never going to be a cost saving exercise so thats that and now I can really finish it off. Thanks for all thoughts and ideas given over the build period and look forward to more.
