I just check with transport Canada and it won't be possible to register only off roadOriginally Posted by FFRSpec72

Fairly certain you can get a regular windshield with the R (or was there something else they said was missing?)I just check with transport Canada and it won't be possible to register only off road
If I ever do another one, I would like to road trip and pick up at the factory. Seems like a great way to start the process.
In any event, congratulations and have fun with the build!
I 'm doing a C right now but I look up for a R next built
I'm not sure Transport Canada or Quebec's SAAQ accepts a car without working doors to be registered. That is a really good question, cuz besides that, everything else required for registration can be done on the R.

Don't know y its from my I pad but when you press on it their com on right .any way . So far on my build I was worry that my axles would not fit because of the automatic transmission but it's ok image.jpeg
That is looking good Benoit!
In some Windows operating systems (like Win7), if you right click on an image file it gives an option to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise without having to enter an application. Mine does at least.
I only have my I pad but I flip the picture before I post itimage.jpeg
Well it does not work for me
Making progress.... Are you comfortable with the wiring?
Looking good Benoit!
