The only advice they gave,was to trim the piece of floor,from the old shell and either weld or pop rivet it over the number on the donor shell. After that,they were completely happy.
the car actually had the old piece of floor tacked in-which made me remove it to see if there was another number undeneath-which there isnt.so im wondering if it was done that way originally-the car was re-shelled many years ago by the look of things-probably when it was only 1/2 years old and if it was done by a proper bodyshop then it would not be registered as a re-shell on hpi as it wasnt written off.
i think ill put the bit back in the floor.[/quote]
