Yes, only onto a new shell - try and find a brand new mk3 / S1 shell now though.
Maybe in the olden days you would have managed it, or with a more modern car - Focus for example but you'll struggle with mk3 (and probably mk1 or 2).
Selling an ID (VIN plate) for collector purposes if fine..but why would they want a bit of floor with the numbers in? In reality how many actually go to real collectors as opposed to someone who wants to create a "genuine" car out of something that isn't. Increasing the value of the car and the buyer potentially losing £000's later down the line.
Just because there are probably plenty of other examples or rung cars on wrong shells doesn't make it right or justify someone else doing it.
