If a RST gets reshelled and therefore has a different vin & logbook etc, it becomes a replica, i believe....

So rather than restore the fuck out of the original shell, so that the vin is the same, And you can still call it an RST what happens if you cut the whole rusted body away from the vin plate and sections where the vin is stamped into the body , then chopped and welded these bits into a mint non-RST shell?

Would this technically be the same rst, log book and all just with 'extinsive' rust repairs? Or a dodgy ass repair?

Just wondered. Seems easier than a lot of the rest jobs on here...

Or am i just a nob with a pot noodle for a brain?
