I felt this was better to be posted as it's own thread.
I have found out in my Latin America travels that the concept of building your own custom or aka salvage vehicle and then legally registering and insuring is not commonly allowed. Now there are situations where there is a loophole to allow very limited options of said. For instance if you buy a vehicle in some countries you can strip the motor out and use it as the legal VIN of existing registration and build anything else.,..but you can just buy a motor out of a yard or a crate motr and build you own thing.
Does the DR allow the registration of 'built it myself' aka salvage vehicles?
If anyone cannot figure out why this is even desireable I will give you and example. If I wanted to build my own Dune Buggy, Sand Rail, Mud Buggy as a hobby...now you understand better.
Anyone know the answer to this in the DR?
Anyone done it or know someone who has done it?
