Can you register a homemade car?

[sitta]

say i want to have this project involving a 1970s mini and a k20/b18 will i be able to register the car if i change the engine layout?

Im planning to place the engine in the rear making the mini a RWD. Will this be legal to register the car in NSW for road use?

It would need a blueprint and the other certificates/slips.

But i doubt you could find anyone crazy enough to risk their licence on an insane power to weight ratio.

why would you want to do it anyway? you wont be able to use the car to its full potential other than a track. And with most track cars you dont need them to be registered.

If you're an engineer.
Go for it.

come to perth, were still slack about some rules.

[NAY]

Look up rules for individually constructed vehicles for starters (ICV). It wont be easy either way!

MK1 mr2 or fiat x 1/9 might be your answer for small mid engined cars..

check out www.zcar.org.uk . im planning to buy one of their kit. The reason of me doing this is because of my hobby. Im studying mechanical engineering so ill be an engineer soon . And this is also my dream car and will kick ass on the track

[sitta]

so if im doing it myself. can i get a mechanic to give me engineer certificate

[steve88]

do some googling mate as (fwd) b-series swaps are relatively common for them now, there are a few sites that sell kits to help with the conversion process. i'm guessing it will be alot easier than converting to rwd

[nugget666]

buy a mini that registerd and just do the converison :P
