not sure really, have not thought that far ahead,

we have been taking notes of all the changes we make

so when we take it to transport dept it will be easier probably @ either Tasmanian mobile mechanics or Willson Automotive for the rest,

In Tassie you are supposed to talk to an engineer and get approval in principle before you begin. If you haven't, they can refuse to pass it when you front up (doubt they would though).

Hey mate, I'm probably going down this road very soon.

Keen on the roundnose part.

Radiator?? I'm not really into the radiator under the car or in the boot idea (even though it works). I want it in the engine bay, but don't want to extend the front. So what are you going to do?
