[v6pop]

Keep the log book as thats worth more than the metal! :roll:

[ado28]

It depends on your intentions, V6pop. Reshelling is not illegal

[v6pop]

It depends on your intentions, V6pop. Reshelling is not illegal

Reshelling with a brand new shell is ok once checked by the DVLA but reshelling with an already registered bodyshell and then changing its identity is called "ringing" and is illegal. :?
If a used bodyshell is used it will have to be reregistered as a "Q"plated vehicle.

QUOTE DVLA
Vehicles that have been rebuilt using a mix of new or used parts
In order to retain the original registration mark,cars and car-derived vans must use:

The original unmodified chassis or unaltered bodyshell (i.e. body and chassis as one unit - monocoque); or a new chassis or monocoque bodyshell of the same specification as the original supported by evidence from the dealer or manufacturer (e.g. receipt).

And two other major components from the original vehicle - ie suspension (front & back); steering assembly; axles (both); transmission or engine.

If a second-hand chassis or monocoque bodyshell is used, the vehicle must pass a an enhanced single vehicle approval (ESVA) or single vehicle approval (SVA) test after which a "Q" prefix registration number will be allocated.

mmmmmm I don't recall seeing many or should that be any Q plated marina's out there and yet there are plenty that are not all they seem

[ado28]

And are you trying to say that every classic car on the road is real? I know of at least 11 cars that have been reshelled Including 2 I have already done so does that make me a bad person? I think not. I can’t see why you’re getting all hot and bothered about the subject anyway, it’s only talk!!! Unless you’re a goodie 2 shoes :twisted:

[ado28]

You must not have anything better to do with your spare time other than quote from other websites. Get a life mate and lighten up a bit! 8)

[stuthegasman]

oh boy here we go......another wise guy :shock: :shock:

[ado28]

Wise cracks do pop up from time to time Stu. He must have nothing better to do other than research sites; maybe he isn’t getting it in the love dept and is taking his frustration out on this forum :roll:

[ado28]

Elouse, I know that, you know that but we have someone who has fook all better to do other than be a fanny!

Who in their right mind would pay a bag of sand for a car that’s totally rotten? If this was my car or someone offered it to me and I really liked it then I WOULD RESHELL it. Anyone have a problem with this? Besides I know of a Coupe shell that’s within 10 miles of me and is mint! :shock:

[v6pop]

Fuck me I only made a valid point on the subject !!
Yea your right though,why should I bother hanging around here with nothing better to do than talk bollocks to the uninformed.

As this will be my last post on here I will say thanks to the good people Ive meet but as usual its the twats hiding behind there keyboard that spoil it.

Good luck and goodbye.

[ado28]

Okay, you've had your say now pop off

If this is why you’re quitting then your not one for debates then eh! We all have our disagreements but you don't see us spitting the dummy! :?
