Very nice 1st car mate.
Are you keeping it in the original blue or are you planning on a colour change?

Would love to see it in person.

You'll have to get it to Valla - Dyllan will have his matt black bug there as well (with a licenced driver) but I don't think he gets his Ps 'till next year.
From your ole' mate Jeff

Good work on the car. The only thing I can think of is to check the legality of the size of the wheels. I don't live in NSW so am no expert by any means but from other posts I have read, you may not get them approved by an engineer.

Would pay to check with someone that actually knows though so you don't waste time and money if they are illegal.

Good luck with the project and I hope it can be done for you.

Yeh you r right mate....we have kept most original parts just in case..
I do know the spacers themselfs have to be bolted on and not floating, 10s could be a problem..
When time comes for gettin it re regoed see how the slap on the wrist goes

At least there is a plan B. Will be an awesome first car and all respect to Lachlan for being able to do what he has done. Even more so due to his age.
