Pretty sure that'll need to get through an SVA test before it can be put back on the road again. Quality car though

Yep, thats the best way to do it! lol
An SVA is what a kit car has to go through, they just give the car a proper check over make sure everything is as it should be, defently worth avoiding!!

iirc a car needs to go through an SVA test if it has had major chassis modifications.
Wouldn't catch me driving a car on the road with the petrol tank in the front
