So I've been doing some research and I think I would like to import a mk4 from Japan. The website says it needs to be at least 25 years old but could offer storage if its not quite to that point. My question is if I could just buy a MK4 body with ONLY the engine and transmission removed making the car a roller/parts car. If I can do this would they still give me some sort of title? Or would I just wait until it hits the 25 year mark and get it a brand new title? I wouldnt want to show up to the DMV once it's 25 years old and get the run around saying I need a title or something. My next questions is if I could buy a RHD roller as previously stated and just put in a 2JZGTE with a R154 trans that I've purchased else where and register it before its even 25 years old. Im not sure if this is in the right section or not so feel free to move it.
So could I buy a 98 mk4 roller and just throw a 2JZGTE in it and register it? Im assuming no since that seems like an extremely obvious loop hole but ya never know.
