|
|
Only 3 weeks left before we stick the FTO in a crate and ship her to Perth. Only thing I'm not sure about is the registration procedure at that end. I've been told I can get a rego from the RTA?
Anyone have any experience with that and can point me in the right direction?
thanks.

you will need to get an import approval to get the car into the country. as for registration there will be somethings you will have to do to the car no doubt to get it over the pits but they will tell you that..
unfortunately I dont have a massive amount of knowledge on personal imports.. but its not overly hard I dont think.. |

MB...I did think about selling but with prices in the UK dropping and the price of FTOs in Perth there wasn't much in it to be honest.
That and the fact that I know the history of mine so figured better the devil you know! |

That would be very handy ftoltd, thanks. I've had the speedo conversion done but will need some other stuff I think.
I'll drop you a pm in a few weeks when the car's nearer and maybe you can hook us up.  |
