Age of the components matters for registration as well so if you want it on a 56 you would need your major components, ie. engine, box, diff, rack brand new also.

Either way, I'll be watching this project with interest!

You can apply for the new shell to be registered and it will be put on a plate for its year.

It only gets a Q if the year can't be established.

Congratulations on the new purchase, some tidy bits on that shell

it could be a Q plate if i wanted it to, but yes the new shell has a chassis number already so what the guy told me to do is cut out the chassis number off my old shell and rivit it next to the chassis number on the new shell and also fit on the old shells VIN plate etc and then its sorted near enough. Il just use my old cars reg plates on it
