You can't just switch state regos Philbo, its gotta go over the pits here to be eligible for WA state licensing. I had to do the same thing when I bought my Blackbird over with Queensland rego on it.

They're having a big crackdown on fender eliminators and other aftermarket parts right now, so best ...

Nice 8) but I prefer long modern's
