I'm in Indiana so no inspections/emissions testing so thats no problem. It will still have most the interior in it and windshield will stay in so the VIN will be present as it was stock. I think ill go get it registered with the body and everything still on and just deal with the problem if it comes
worse case i'll end up having to get it titled as a custom car which i dont think is to hard to do in Indiana anyways, I see quite a few street legal buggys on the road that have questionable integrity
I keep thinking of doing this approach on an Imprezza or WRX. You've got 140 to 220 HP stock while losing 1000+ lbs. and lowering the cg. Buy a cosmetic fixer and a bunch of tubing and make a real fast buggy for a couple of grand. Furthermore, the AWD strikes me as a logical coupling with the whole exo/buggy/rail concept.
