So just over a year ago i purchased a 86 trueno from the Gold Coast from a Girl . Flew up with a mate from sydney and drove it back in less than a day. That whole day was a win IMO, until i found out how difficult it is to actually register the bastard.
It was QLD mod plated as a 2 seater, having after market seats (bride brix) and nothing in the rear expect ofcourse a 4 point rollcage.
Anyway, i basically stripped it down and rebuilt it while repairing several dodgy sheberights and welding/bogging as usual with most hachi's these days. Now I have to comply with the ADR's including;
-intrusion bars in the doors (luckily 'borrowing' my mates ADM doors)
-ADM seat belts with the ADR symbols (even though they're the same as JDM)
-replacing the hatch with another that had no duck wing covering the key hole
-wheels that arnt 14x8 buddy clubs.
-Putting a Cat in the Exhaust (=^.^=)

- and many many more things

As far as im aware i have to get this thing engineered by a certified engineer from the RTA.
then blue slip then green slip then all good.
My question to y'all is whether anybody has ever done something as painful as this, and how much did it cost you?
