howdy all I'm from saskatchewan I just built my frame and was wondering if there were any other canuck's out there . My question is how much trouble to register a home built car . I am having a hard time finding anyone that is in the know about these things around here , and what have some of you done to get your car legal ??

Hi
There are 3 of us building here in Vancouver, from what we have learnt here in BC you can register it as a replicar and all you need to do is get a provincial inspection, that is be real easy to do.
I went to a British car show here in the summer, met a couple guys there with locost Sevens who had gone through the process with no problems.

Guys, definitely leave your postcode/coordinates on the Builder Locations thread and get added to the map.

Welcome to the madhouse Towtruck :)

Sorry can't help with your ? but i'm sure the internet will help.

Welcome to the MadHouse,

We have sent 3 or 4 sets of bodywork and other bits over to Canada over the previous 12 months and as has been said it is registered as a replica with an inspection.

All the Best...AndyH

I just payed for my six piece body kit from saturn sports cars today !!! I'm so excited !!!

Welcome to the forum Towtruck, :)

best wishes for your build

Hello Trevor,

I didn't realize it was you that started the thread, just thought it was a coincidence. Just replying to your e-mail now.

Regards....AndyH

this is the best site I have found !! it's nice to see so many people working on the same type of car .

You can say that again Trevor and a warm welcome. ;)

anybody out there have a picture of a cobalt blue roadster ? That's the color I picked and I'm curious if anyone has done that color ?

Hi Trevor, names Bill, from Calgary. I am collecting some bits and pieces just now. I am planning on using the 2.3L Lima as well.
cheers,
Bill

nice ! I noticed that there is a amendment on the trans tunnel here , does the lima need more room or can I use the dimensions in the book ?

I not sure about the amendments as I am not that far into it at the moment. Check out LocostUSA.com and search for Lima, there is a lot of info regarding the Lima engine, and probably info on the T5.
I hope this helps.
I hope to be starting my build very soon as I am still stuck for space at the moment.
I have just got my Lima engine with the 16v Volvo head running and I have to sort out the MS2 system yet. I have it installed in my 1986 XR4Ti. Once its sorted I can move the XR outside, then I can get into the build etc.
cheers,
Bill. :)

I'm lucky for space . My boss encourages after work projects and doesn't mind the car in the shop , as long as I take build pics for the companies web site. good luck on the build . I wish I could find a merkur .

I can keep a look out for one that is going to be scrapped etc, if you like. Checkout the Merkur Forum, occasionally one will show up that is heading for the wreckers yard.

Bill.

Hi Trevor, I have found a couple of XRs if you are still interested. They are here in Calgary. My e-mail is xrcossie@yahoo.ca
cheers,
Bill.
