What will the transitos think of it. Do you have to go through any pre registration tests? Sorry but I don't have a name to address the
questions to, like what engine and everything but the car looks really smart.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

You can be forgiven for buying those parts - the standard of the rest more than compensates!!
Rear wings are particularly impressive - were they made from one piece?

I also would like to know the gauge /thickness of the sheeting you used for your panels. Any guess at the total weight of the car--very impressive
build. Your body sides and scuttle look like one piece, did you join and fill or is there a seam in there somewhere that cant been seen.

Weigth and regulations
Well,still I don't know the total weigth ;but has to be arround 500K.
The sheet is#20, may look to tick but especialy in the rear winds it work great.
I have to take it to the inspection and we are not prety sure about the paper work and regulation and maybe the inspeccion office doesn't to
becouse as long as I know is the first proyect like this in my country.
They have someting like that with the buses factory , they take a truck like Volvo or Isuzu remove the cab and built a body and do a new
registration,so I hope ,not to have many troubles with it.

Nice looking car, well finished, must be very rare in Costa Rica.
What part of Costa Rica are you from? I worked in Costa Rica back in 1999 and fell in love with the place. A fantastic country and really friendly
people that know how to party. Very fond memories.
7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?

Hola Hombre! Tu carro es fantastico. Uno de los mejores que he visto en mi vida! 
The shape is lovely. The color is gorgeous, the quality of the build appears top notch.
I bet you have a LOT of good roads to drive that pretty thing on too!

The Roads
Thank's for your coments,but the big problem that we have now are exactly the roads,they are in a terrible condition,so I have to choose where
to drive it.
We have a lot of preaty places to go ,but the trouble is to get there.
Maybe one day this will be over.
