It doesnt matter how good or honest your intentions are, doing what you describe is still dodgy practise at best.
And if the car did ever get inspected, again, try convincing plod about how honest your story is and why you changed the vehicles ID.
Or maybe there is some sort of process that allows you to do that sort of thing ?
I mean properly as in the etched glass right colour and the vin welded in so it can not be noticed not welded like a 5 year old did it. I know it's not how things are done but me personally that's how I'd fix mine if someone damaged it. Even if the insurance give a good pay out chances of getting another are slim now
Plus if plod inspected half the restoration Ford i but he would have an issue lol I've seen some done at a friends workshop that restores fords that pretty much only the roof and pillars are re used there's no difference really
