I would atleast try and get it to a testing station and find out the bare minimum for getting it tested, 2.5k is alot of money for a car with no T&T, IF you get it tested, i'd pretty much bet the cost of that would be far less than the difference between your 2500 and whatever you could sell it for if it was legal.
