Hi was looking for some help regarding reshelling my K Plate cosworth into a H plate shell that i purchased with log book thats been seam welded, acid dipped and coated ready for paint.
Does the car have to be registered as the H Plate or can i use the K Plate registration as all the doner parts are from the K Plate shell. As the K plate car is white and the H plate shell was flint grey i have the dilema of what colour as i am ready to paint the underside. Any Help would be appreciated.
PS My preferrence would be White on the k Plate.

Cheers Big Al

 

Technially no its not legal, if the new shell you have was unstamped you would be able to transfer the idenitification over from the K reg one but you cannot remove 1 set of identification and replace it with some from another it would be classed as a ringer.
But seeing as you own both cars and they are not stolen personally I would find somebody very handy with a welder to put the numbers in so you cannot tell if you really want it on a K plate lol

 

Cheers mate thats what i was thinking dont want to change Id on shells.

 

I think I know the shell. Going from what I've read I think you got it from a mate of mine

 

Hi Mate the Shell came from preston. Your mate brought it up if it the same one.

 

Use the H plate ID and paint it white?
If you ring the car you not only run the risk of it getting squashed if vosa find it, iirc you'll get fined for ringing too.

 

Yes. I know the shell
