basically i have a shell thats loged as a 2.0.. and i fancy using it but theres no engine in it.. cant/dont want to afford to put a 2.0 back into it as id have to get all the conversion parts again and then cant/dont want to afford to insure it as a 2.0 to

but have a 1.6 and insurance isnt bad at all

could it be as simple as ust sending the log book off or are they going to need proof etc?

cheers for any help

Sell the shell to one of the thousand XE converted Corsa owners who still haven't transferred their details yet.

Do a swap with one of those

Just change it over and see what happens, they might not even ask for proof.
Tax is the same these days anyway.
