Am probably going to open a can of worms here but i have some legitimate question regarding registering a re-shelled car.

Basically my situation is that i'm re-shelling my sapph cosworth into a 3dr shell, however the shell is a base modle 1.3, and am turning it into a 3dr cossie (or replica if you prefer)

How do i register it now, i dont want to leave it as a 1.3 "modified car" as my insurance will do its nut, and apparently the DVLA dont do Q plates anymore, however i do have a Q plate logbook and ID from another 3dr that was re-shelled i could use maybe?

Or could i use my ID off my sapph somehow as a re-shell? I have no idea how it works?

I dont want to get drawn into an argument with anyone as to weather its worth me re-shelling into this shell, lets just say i have my reasons, but any help as to how i could possibly register it to anything other than a modified 1.3 would be greatly appreciated!!!
