New from Estonia

[chopper]

Hey.

I've been reading H.A.M.B. about a year now.
Nice place to hang in.

I'm from Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.
I'm a tattooartist and musician.
My rides are '66 Volvo Amazon, ´84 Citroen CX25 GTI and '70 Gaz 24 Volga which I'm trying to kustomize slowly. Maybe, some day, when there's some more progress, I dare to show it.

Well, that's all I guess:)

Welcome!

Can you chop tops, is it legal?

Hei. Thanks.

Well, actually almost everything is illegal in here. It needs a lot of byrocracy, and these people, who will decide - they are often in the "bad mood" and they just don't feel like thinking. It's easier to say no - that's their moto, it' seems this way at least.

Right now, the legal way to make a rod - fenderless, radically chopped, without hood etc, etc, etc - then it's called, hmm....selfmade car. It means, that you can use some frame and engine and all other techic stuff from different cars and the exterior must look like no other car before. Ehh...me and my lousy English. Hope You guys understand.
And You need to have a licenced welder and this project has to go through expertise and all that.

Nothing is simple in here.

What it costs to make "selfmade car" street legal (byrocracy)?

Welcome!

Welcome!

Thanks!


@Janne - I don't even know actually.... Cause I have'nt had the need to build this so-called "selfmade car", then I don't have the knowledge. I'm still very "greenhorn" right now, I hope the knowledge and how-to's are coming on the road.

But, I'm guessing that one of the fee's is the first registration, since it would be new car. This costs about 102 Euros. I'm too tired at the moment to search around, what would the price be in dollars.

Plus, all the expertise fee's, but I have no idea, how much would this be.

Welcome to the board. Do you know Encino Man, he goes by Link. I think he is from Estonia. :)

Hmm....have not heard this name before.

Sorry, bad joke. There is a movie with Pauly Shore and Brendan Frasier called Encino Man. Brendan's caracter is named Link and they say he is from Estonia.

No harm done. I just have'nt seen the movie.
