It does happen tho for genuine reasons like yours sounds, cant see why you cant keep the id of the second hand shell tho, unless youre restoring something who's value is in its identity and its originality, in which case I refer you back to it being ringing and ilegal
I honestly didnt think it was illegal to change the ID from one car to another when you own both,

Getting the right vehicle identification number for your vehicle
It is a legal requirement for all vehicles used on public roads to have a vehicle identification number (VIN). Usually the VIN is stamped into the chassis of the vehicle. It may be lost when a vehicle is substantially rebuilt or modified, especially where the chassis, monocoque bodyshell or frame has been replaced with a new or used one.
Why would they give a example of where the VIN may have been changed because of replaing chassis shell etc. I am assuming the frames mean in bikes, it is the same view on bikes if the frame has been changed it is a 'ringing' no idea on bikes tbh
Not that I have ever done this, my old company did plently of shell changes as it was cheaper then metal work back then but these were using brand new shells from fords.
