Sorry Strw, although the FFR kit is $US20.000, by the time you import it...pay duties, freight and GST you're gonna be up to about $30,000.

Then your going to need wheels, tyres and paint ......guess at another $7500 absolute minimum if you paint it yourself.

Then your gonna need an engine and gear box......new....another $10.000, second hand.....maybe $5000.

And you have yet to incur any test for Oz. conformity and all the incidentals that some how just happen.

So you are going to expend about $50,000 anyways. Not worth it with the gamble of being unable to register it.

Buy a second hand aussie kit would be a better choice.

Cheers
