I'd take a very good guess that the amount of people on here driving reshells or ringers with no idea would be staggering,they were easily being rung back in the 80's and 90's when the police actively looked for them then whereas now the cars are older than the average copper,how the fuck would he know where to look for the date stamps to prove authenticity etc?
To me,if you own the two cars,the cars aren't stolen and all your doing is swapping parts from one to another yet wish to retain your original I.d for insurance purposes etc who are you harming?would you prefer a mint shell with a bit of extra weight from the new numbers or a rotten genuine one?I know what my answer would be.
That's all very well and i know there are a lot of them about already but it's when you come to sell it that the problems are.Some poor cunt thinks he's buying a nice rot free car when in fact it's a base model with some RS bits on it.
Unless of course you are honest and sell it as a ringer in which case it won't be worth as much and unless you can provide evidence of work carried out a lot of people will be suspicious of it.And you'll get the heroes that are scouring the ads looking for dodgy cars to let the whole world know over the net.
