Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Where abouts in Victoria are you? I'm tempted to fly over and drive this car back haha.
Do you know if I'd have any trouble registering it in SA? I don't know what's involved with that kind of thing.
He's in frankston. Just a little bit south of the melbourne CBD

As for registering it here, its a fairly simple process. You take it to the id station in regency (NOT the inspection station, they're on different sites now, its around the corner from the inspection station).
Theres 3 tiers of inspections, you should only have to do tier 1 which is just a general inspection, and they check the all the numbers to see if they match and nothing is stolen!
This cost something under $100 (can't remember now, was almost 9 months ago i did it!)
Once that is done, you just go to the transport SA branch, and register the car as normal! ( was about 3 minutes when i did mine). You have to fill in a sheet of ALL the details of the car, make, model, colour, engine capacity etc, so make sure you have all those details when you go in there!
You have 14 days i think t is that its allowed to be on interstate plates, after that, it has to be rego'd in SA of you get a fine!
Its definitely worth it, i saved about 2gs by buying in Melb and driving it back (and just think, 8 hours of bonding time with your new ride )
So I don't have to fix the stuff before I register it in SA?
