Started a little project and basically just like Speccy's car we have welded a floor pan from one car into another. Now in regards to legals would I have to register it as a kit car or as its chassis is made from 2 cars and thus needed a SVA test?
or do I just keep it registered as per the original body shell that I'm using?

No IVA is needed for a body change and keeping the chassis. e.g. wedding cars are old taxis with a different body bolted on, don't need an IVA. They keep the donor cars identity and not need a new one. It's a grey area as a floor pan isn't really a chassis and speccy's car should be running on the imprezza id even though it looks like a corsa. Which would entail a whole world of shit when you go past an anpr camera on a police car.
I'd personally just blag it tbh and declare the engine change into the new car. Which is just a case of sending off the v5 with new engine number and size.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
