This guy can reproduce old plates for pretty much any country.. he might be able to help you out if you're looking for pressed one's which are the same as you have (with the small SA at the start).

He looks like Rolf Harris too, so bonus for you being a fellow auzzie!..

Just to echo the sentiments of others, if you can do some/most/all of the work yourself then get stuck in, especially if it only needs bits for the MOT; will be an amazing journey, good luck

not sure if they're the same as the one's on the 964, but there's a recent post on PCGB regarding alloy wheel nuts, which have recently gone up in price a bit; OPC's now charging £8 each!! :shock:
