THat's the way most people do it now, problem is more and more people are getting caught. Several cars have been forced into trailer queens as they just won't pass the test without major rebuilding. They're getting caught out come MOT time.. As these cars that have been in progress for years finally make it out of sheds/garages and roll into and MOT station the Computer MOT flags up anomolies with engine numbers and VOSA are all over it like flies round poop. As soon as they spot an dengine conversion or similar the cars V5 is confiscated and the registration removed making the car illegal to use on the road until re registered after passing the relevant test. Harsh but this was always gong to happen when they started computerising the MOT system.
