Gutted cars - Click HERE for Original Thread

Prudz_lude
I am wondering if it is illegal to drive cars that have no interiors what so ever. Carpet, door panels, rear seats, center consoles (detached from dash) everything gone. The only thing remaining are the seats, seat belts, and airbags. All the safety equipment is still there but everything else is gone.

It can't be. Too many ice racers that drive their Chevettes to the lake. They ALL have the interior gutted since they're making a race car out of a whopping 55-70ish HP and any weight savings helps...

I don't see any reason why not? Tons of cars around Edmonton are stripped out... I guess that doesn't make it legal in and of itself. But you think you'd have heard something about it - if it were illegal...

There's the vehicle equipment regulations... I see nothing in there about carpets or seats.

You've still got to have minimum instrumentation as well. Speedo and odometer are mandatory. Signal lights etc must work. Other than that...

Naturally, if the removal of any of this stuff makes the vehicle unsafe, that would take precedence.

Which is why I posted the regs!
