Fairly certain you can get a regular windshield with the R (or was there something else they said was missing?)
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 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.
