Do you do the conversions? Or something to do with importing cars?

I may have a couple of q's for you regarding getting my 3dr into Oz. It's modded. Is that then possible?

no bother mate i will be off to bed soon so just drop me a line if i can help out i will, most things are possible if you go about it in the right way. the rules are different all over OZ some are just crazy i thought it would be easy to run a modified car out here but i was wrong ahahhah. still it is all possible with a bit of thought.

prowlers look good but are shite to drive they are to hard and skip about all over the place, ZR1 is the quickest thing there and drives mint. if i were to take one it would be a mustang a 2011 gt 500 with electronic rack they are just a fun car to drive
