Body swap

[mikegq]

Hey guys

The body on my troll is rusty and the paint is poor

I have a really good condition body to swap in the next few weeks

My question is will this present any problems registering it etc

Is there any markings ie numbers that tie the body to the chassis number etc?

Or am I free to swap the body and registration and licensing will never be able to tell

Of it ever has to go over the pits?

Cheers

Mike

It depends where any VIN numbers are stamped. In most cases those are on plates afixed to the body and some panel inside the engine bay might be stamped too. Some vehicles with chassis have VIN numbers on the chassis as well. If it is just the ally plates riveted in the firewall than does anyone needs to know?

Cheers

Pretty sure all can be done legally with a bit of paper and a trip over the pits..

$$$ may vary depending on how well you know the bloke and your home state..

Another option would be get a set of stamps and destroy the numbers on your old body after you put those numbers on the new one. I don't know much about the legalities of doing this but it would work.

Pick up the donor vehicle tomorrow

Change of plans now fitting my engine etc into the donor

Easier to get registered that way
