but (quite rightly IMO) the fella can cu tthe numberrs out the floor of the old shell and weld it into the donor shell. Nothing iffy about it, the cars being built with 'straight' bits and used a 'straight' donor shell. If he does declare to DVLA he runs the risk of a 'Q', insuranjce problems etc. Not worth the hassle. I'd put the original numbers in the new shell. Everythings legit, the ar and shell aren't bent so I personally see no harm in it.
