hi,
just for your info, there is a person called Ferdie Rodricks who modifies cars for the disabled. You can visit his website at www.handicappedpeople.com.

Pl. check up with your local RTO whether they will register such altered / modified vehicle, which is essential & also your MDL will have to be specially endorsed for such I.C.
Bye

Thanks Jagdish,

Can you please explain what MDL stands for.

Also I am assuming that I.C. stands for an Insurance Certificate ?

Manoj

If you are in North India (like me), you can get your vehicle modified in Delhi. There is a very good mechanic called Rupesh who modified my WagonR as well. Let me know if you need details.
