So my 76' 4 door Golf is close to being finished.

It has been off of rego for an unknown period and needs a RWC.

Does anyone have any experience getting an Unregistered Vehicle Permit for driving to a RWC test?

The online guide says you need to declare that it is safe for road use. Is this based on the owners opinion, or does someone need to come look at the car?

I'd also love some recommendations for a RWC mechanic here in Melbourne. I'm in the inner North, but I'm happy to travel for a mechanic who understands mk1 project cars (ie. project car: 1800 motor swap, 32/36 weber, 5spd, replaced floor pan, wiring modifications, elec fuel pump etc).

Thanks everyone!
