I'm curious what most of you do when you purchase a donor vehicle that will primarily be used for parts. BTW I'm in California so this may be different by state. Do you register as non-operating, salvage it (or scrap), or just normal registration? If its not running how do you get around the required smog (assuming you must register)?
Mostly curious as it relates to the eclipse that will be used in the APEX. I believe when you file SB100 and you go to the CHP you are issued an entirely new VIN number for the kit car so I don't know why you would register the old car. I may be buying something and want to make sure I follow the correct process to avoid fines or penalites but also want to reduce DMV fees as well.
