Bloody hell, Argentina now!! welcome to the nut house.

We are a truly international community arent we! Do you have to go thro any approvals etc before getting it on the road or do you enjoy the same easy route as our US cousins?

What spec you building?

You are joking right?

At least with the SVA you have some semblance of a consistent nationwide procedure by which you put a home-built car on the road.....over here it's a LOT worse.....believe it or not you guys are lucky....

Thank you very much!!!!,, here we have the same madness by LOCOST.

In this country like everything, have the approvals is imposible, you need to do complicated maneuvers. I will use
the patent of my donor car, like others locost builders
Also the police here dont disturb
Anyway my engine will go faster !!!!!!!!!!!

congratulations for your great car! As a Brazilian, I am very happy to have a latin american neighbor building a locost too. By the way, there is a discussion forum called Locost Mercosur (yahoogroups) with members from Chile and Brazil, Argentina too, I think (not sure). Why dont you share your experience with us there? By the way, I see your car is a bit different from a strict locost design. I like that, I am going the same route too, since my platform is the chevette's.
Again, congratulations

Gustavo
