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.

In some Windows operating systems (like Win7), if you right click on an image file it gives an option to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise without having to enter an application. Mine does at least.
I only have my I pad but I flip the picture before I post it60213
Well it does not work for me
