Main thing I found was the engine no had to match the vin no or you had to have the paperwork for it , getting a roadworthy in some parts is as easy as paying a bit extra .
My sons GU ute proves that .

Unless you "know" someone, getting a RWC from a mechanic who knows this car is going to the pits would be a task IMO.

Richard, from what I see the obvious problem areas are
1) tyres, 2) exhaust, 3) would remove the lightbars,
4) springs
If I was going to buy this I would swap the tyres and wheels with someone who has a patrol parked up in a garage and can do without them for a RWC and a Vicroads inspection, 2) take the ute down to an exhaust place and get them to stick a muffler on it, I would remove the light bars front and rear just so it looks a bit more ordinary, find a set of cheap springs and swap them out, then chuck them or flog them on gumtree. From there you have a solid platform to work with and only have to review the 'normal' RWC items. You can always present it to a RWC guy and get the defect list first. With a bit of help you should be able to convert this beast into a nanna tractor in a weekend.
Its got a heap of fruit and also has had a lot of work down, you just need to get it a bit more street looking. I don't know if there are any regs regards the tray though? Personally I think its worth the effort.

You'll have no hair by the end of the week! Haha.
I used to take my kid brother for driving lessons every week and it was bloody terrifying!

TBH I'm more interested in Andreas road trip!! Tell me more haha. Nah but seriously, nice rig, I've got a patrol with not that much fruit but I wish I got something more stock, then I would know exactly the car, exactly what changed with every mod and be able to trouble shoot every problem. Now Everytime something goes wrong I'm chasing so many unknowns... Just food for thought
