Theres one out in auburn but i dont know if thats close to u or not. Im curious to know that these cars dont need compliancing or what not? Just go for a blue slip?? If so why havent more ppl done this!!!!

They do need compliancing, unless it's a personal import (Owned and used for 12 months) as opposed to a general import (What both Myself and Dangerdan have done).

I'm trying to work out how to get mine to Liverpool for the Engineer to scrutinise as I have no plates on it and I don't trust the unlicenced vehicle ruling on the RTA website!!!

Found this:

they have a weighbridge and located in Harbord/Freshwater area.

well im located in bankstown, and that last one ozgti, is in warringah, which is northshore, and the car will most likely be shipped to port kembla, south coast.

also, is it a big job to get the child restraints and get them attached, also, it seems you dont need the third brake light as it is pre 89, but ill get one just for good measure.

at what point can i go for the blueslip, is it as soon as the child restraint is in or is it rego'd first. How long does it take to be blueslipped and complianced?

Sorry, for some reason I thought you were north shore.

Public Weighbridges

Have you got the child restraints in, was it hard?
