Woohoo!
After nearly a year of tweaking and fiddling, I finally cleared the hurdle of road registration in Western Australia yesterday, with the Green Machine now adorned with some cool number plates:
43258
43259
(Excuse the cable ties!!)
As expected, I faced a few issues requiring attention in order to satisfy local regulations including:
High level brake light,
Side turn signals,
Functioning windscreen wiper and washer,
Under dashboard cover,
Cover over shiny new FFR (K-tuned) shifter (too many sharp edges posing an injury risk...)
100mm ground clearance (challenging!!)
Self centering steering, to name a few.
A few little challenges, but no show stoppers, so happy, no make that VERY, happy days!
So, whilst she may be the 1st 818 to be registered Down Under, the 1st registered RHD 818 award went to Junty a few weeks ago, which is a testament to his efforts, given I had 'quite' a head start!!
Thanks to all for their tips and advice along the way!
