Yeah we're pretty lucky, the government nearly adopted the Auz rules a decade or so ago but the builder clubs like the hotrod club got together and proposed what is effectively a self regulation system where the group (lvvta) certifies builds like this to be road legal.

I looked into bulk importing from various places but surprisingly a local place could supply me at $27.50 per Kg ($35 with gst) which was the same price as some of the cheap Chinese places (and no doubt the customs charges would have pushed that up) so i'm all plastic'd up (64 kg all up)

I'll post something in the project topic soon

Wow that is awesome!

*Shakes angry fist at aussie road rules*, could almost never build and register something like that here.

Also for the amount of plastic you need, perhaps order in bulk from this guy?: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/445/for- … h-quality/

Send this to Solidoodle they'll likely put it on their website and possibly facebook post if you want the publicity. I can't wait to watch the progress.

Thanks,
Ivan
