Here is where you will find some links to certain rules & rego requirements specific to Hot Rods in Canberra, A.C.T

Design Rules:

Website: Australian Design Rules -Third Edition


Importing a Hot Rod:

There is more vintage tin overseas (particularly in the US) than there is here. Importing a car can be the answer to your Hot Rodding Dream, but there are many pitfalls. This page will help CHRA members and other interested Rodders with the correct procedures based on experience.

Go Australiatrade.com.au/Shipping/Import/Vehicles/Permits first. You need an application form which can be downloaded HERE.


Full Rego (A.C.T):

As of April 2004, the A.C.T has adopted the NATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND MODIFICATION OF STREET RODS IN AUSTRALIA. This means that in A.C.T you can obtain full street rego (there is no limited scheme currently available), however you must adhear to these guidelines. You should (well, really MUST) contact the ACT TAC for more info BEFORE you are either deciding to built your new Rod or buying a Hot Rod from interstate.
Just because a Hot Rod was under full rego in another state it does not mean that it will be able to be on full rego in the A.C.T (trust me, I know from 1st hand experience!). The two most important things to do is to contact the ACT TAC and don't let the Hot Rod run out of it's current rego!
