I started to clean up and cut a repair section from this poor FRST It has a little rust area but that will be easy to repair compared to the silver one

Keep it up mate when it's finished it'll be worth it

Right a friend of mine has a new fiesta turbo shell, it has all the kit holes etc so a genuine shell, it was painted and half built before he needed to buy a house so he sold everything, but still has the shell, where do I stand with this If I went for it for my moondust?

[dontpannic]

I believe if its just the shell you can transfer the ID across to it so long as its using the original running gear?

[hamps]

That's what I thought but someone told me I have to Q plate it

I obviously don't want to do that! Lol

Whether I carry on welding mine up or have this new shell blasted and painted and fit everything from my car?

Would I be ok putting the floor number in too?

Feels dodgey but don't sound dodgey if you get me!

I just don't want to de value the car or get accused of something naughty although technically its not. Is it?

[hamps]

Any advice?

[willowandmikey]

If you have a look on the Dvla website it'll help clear it up. The majority of times a car is q plated is usually stolen recovered when the true identity cannot be ascertained. If you are able to prove the history I can't see it being a huge issue. A vosa place should also be able to help

[hamps]

Cheers mate, yeh I had a look about on the net, and spoke to Vosa too

[willowandmikey]

Did vosa say it was ok. ?

[hamps]

Not really But yes

"A car is built and given it's I.D that I.D has to stay with it throughout its life. But a re shell isn't illegal unless anything stolen is being used! oh and do it properly"

There words not mine

[willowandmikey]

Excellent good news.
