Yes.
That way it will be on the road and you can enjoy it.
It can always be restored at a later date.
Get out there and drive the thing thats what it was made for.
I have chosen to restore mine and it has been in the shed for 3 years and will not be on the road for at least 6 months.
I wish I had ratted mine as I have lost 3 years driving pleasure.
Just my opinion
Good Luck

I agree. Cut out any major rust, ensure no more will form and then enjoy 🙂

hey rhys
i definetly think just do the work needed to get it registered, then drive it as is. the paint looks great, its not all rusty or anything on the outside, just that bit of floor near the door like i showed u in the pic, so there should b no hassles with the rta. it'll make a cool rat bus. if u want some bigger pics of it just email me and i will send them thru, not sure how long it is till ur coming to pick it up...

Hey dude
I'm a friend of James and have seen the car first hand. Infact i hit James up to sell it last year and he wouldn't part with it.
i had the same planes with it RAT LOOK RAT LOOK RAT LOOK. Sure you could make it nice and shinny but won't have the charactor as the rat look has.
How will the transport company get it. He has told you it has no rear wheels hasn't he.
