I have recently purchased a 68 VW Beetle for another eureka project.
The car is unlicenced and is registered in NSW Aus.
As I live in WA, I'm not 100% sure what the process will be to put the car through the pits and have it registered over here.

Does anyone have any previous experience OR knowledge that will help me out?

Thanks

do a revs check for title etc and have any previous rego papers etc from nsw,and your receipt of sale ,,,but just ask your local transport dept and they should set you straight
