You get a "Permit to move from Queensland Transport".

They cost (or at least the last time I got one anyway) about $30.
To get one you need to have 3rd party insurance cover - not all
insurers will do this, after all by definition the vehicle is
unregistered/unroadworthy, but ring around and you will get one.

From memory you can get one that extends for a few days, you have to
nominate where you will be taking the vehicle and draw a rough route on
a "mud-map".

Expect to be the target of any prowling polce car, expect also that the
coppers will not know the fine detaisl of a permit to move and they may
considerably delay you whilst they find out.

All in all it is a bloody side simpler to hire/borrow a car trailer.

Or if you have a friend in the new or used vehicle game, borrow their
trade plate.

Why not just drop into QT and ask? Things may have changed since I got a
similar vehicle passed. AFAIK would still have to take it for safety
certificate and have permit to drive it there for a day or so plus
insurance and present the vehicle to QT for inspection of engine number
etc... and then in my case they registered it as a wagon instead of a ute
and I had to go back and fill out another form, explaining to them, it
hasn't been modified, it's always been a ute.. oh must be clerical error
they said, then get demand to pay rego on vehicle we used to have (with a
warning not to drive it unregistered) even though I'd handed in the
plates months before and it had gone to the scrap yard. Good luck :-)

Very little :-)

I think I replaced a 10th of that car and left it a lot lighter.

A few shots just prior to it being finished.

Thanks to all who replied - it helped me get it straight in my head when QT
offices were closed.

Rang QT this morning.

Need to arrange CTP prior to picking it up.
Need to download and fill out form
http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/resources/file/eb75120bb3478da/pdf_f3518_es.pdf
(application for registration)
Need Bill of sale.

With these documents in the car, completed and signed, I can drive from my
brothers house, to the inspection centre and then on to mains roads via a
direct route and with no deviations.

Any expired plates and rego sticker must be removed, and no doubt this wll
make me something of a cop magnet, but the aforementioned paperwork, if in
order, will sort that all out.

As atec suggests - a mobile inspector would simplify matters, and driving to
mains roads is no problem if ctp is arranged and the application for reg is
completed (shows intend I suppose?)

cheers
