I'm close to bringing my Westfield over here (Sydney) from the Uk but have a few questions.

1. My car is road registered but currently on SORN. It has no engine and gearbox but everything else. Does this present any problems bringing it over here with?

2. Would I be better of getting an engine and gearbox put in whilst it's still in the Uk and if so do I need to have it MOT'd in the Uk?

3. If it's Ok to bring the car over as incomplete then what engine would be a good one to get when the car is over here? I'm thinking a Toyota 4age would be good and cheap but is there anything else I should consider?




Thanks for your help in advance.
Matt

Thanks for that. I've re-registered as my old login seems to have been reset. From memory it may take a while to activate the account though.

It would be pretty easy for me to dismantle and ship seperately. Any thoughts on getting it road registered when rebuilt here?

Also, which engine/box options are available/common here for what would be road use with the odd track day?

G'day Matt,

I've had a look at your " Custardtart " Ozclubbies login and you are validated and not blocked in any way so I'm think you must be holding your tongue wrong or something.
Thanks suthol, login does i'm still working on this but will update as I go.

Cheers to all who have helped so far.
