Evening all,i have the opertunity of getting a new 3 door shell ,but the owner has no documentation for the shell as its new,.
How, when the re shell is done do i prove that its a new shell in order to be able to get my id taken over via the points system ,.
All help appriciated befor i go spending ,loads on what could ,but shouldnt turn out to be a QQQQ plate.
As i think thats what could happen.
Will picture evidence of the shell and the work in progress be sufficient??

 

As long as the shell is new then it's a direct replacement and a Q will ot be issued.

Get a receipt, take pics and the V5 and resale value should be fine.

 

so even a recipt of a private individual is ok ,as it is a private sale and not of a salvage /body shop??

 

anything will help.

as long as the shell is unstamped I don't think you'll get a problem

 

Thats what i was thinking to be honest mate

 

Quote from DVLA website:

"A new chassis or monocoque bodyshell of the same specification as the original supported by evidence from the dealer/manufacturer (e.g. receipt) "

Ring VOSA to check what to do as it is a private sale.

www.vosa.gov.uk. They do the SVA test etc.

I have just sent them an email to see what they say about recipt issues
will post when i here anything

 

I think if you don't tell them they won't come looking. Loads of cars get re-shelled and don't do SVA.

 

so who restamps the shell??????
if i am paying a couple of K for a shell i dont want to do it sly,to be honest

 

how rotton is the old shell then?????? as i want to cut up a n/side inner wing and might chop the roof off it as a spare

let me know

 

n/s wing is trying to depart of its own accord mate when the car has been stripped i will post some pics ,inthe next 3 weeks .
Work commences this weekend ,

 

good luck ,it took me a whole day to get all the inner trim out of mine, everything you take off there is something else behind it on these bloody 3drs......not like my saff......slam the door and the fookin trim falls off


is your inner wing as rotton as this????????????


pugo

 

hell no

 

You must have a reciept from the original dealer to prove its a new shell. Without this you cannot prove the shells true origin and it will be issued with a Q plate.

 

are you sure your shell is too rotten to repair????.........as i will be repairing that

pugo

 

Sure every thing is repairable but to what extent ,bit here bit there and for what it will cost to get profesionaly done
Nice new shell good paint job ,all put together and it will last another 16 year

 

Why cant you stamp the new shell with the same number as the old shell, if the old one is being crushed who cares. i dont think the metal has traceable DNA.

 

Get some 10mm high stamps and stamp the shell yourself.

060720321 is the letter punches

060720325 is the number punches

Probably do a better job than 'professionals' too.

 

do machine mart now sell the 5 pointed star then, for each end

 

At 7.30 this morning that was a sound idea!

What would you suggest then? cut the old floor out and weld it in? No one else has offered a solution.

Personally, I would leave it blank and just rebuild the car and enjoy it.

 

i cerainly wouldn't have posted anything if it was me , nor would i have told anybody.................

sussed why i am horizontally challenged (fat).......7.30 am all i am thinking about is breakfast

 

Have been told the police can stamp it ,anyone else heard of this

 

didn't the old bill used to stamp the strut tops of previously stolen recovered cars,a few years ago? not sure that it happens anymore.

 

If you got prove it's a new shell and your using all the parts from the original(GET YOUR LOLCAL VEHICLE REGISTERING CENTRE TO COME AND VIEW) then you can take it to your local Ford dealer along with the relevant paper work job done

IF YOU GET THE OLD BILL TO DO IT THEN THEY WILL STAMP IT ALONG THE STRUT SAME AS SOME OF THE OLD Q PLATERS HAVE
