Being a mechanic in WA i don't know the laws over east, but i believe its more strict on modified car registering. having a highly illegal engine, fiberglass guards ect, there is no chance of licensing it over here. But bringing it over as a track only car may be possible.

He's better off pulling the running gear out of it selling the shell and when he gets over here buying a shell (can get them for around the $2-3000 mark now) and refitting all the stuff. There is basically no chance he can get that complied here.

EDIT!!

Actually he might have slim a chance under a personal import. PM Iron_Chef on here he'll have some answers for you.
