mikegq Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hey guys The body on my troll is rusty and the paint is poor I have a really good condition body to swap in the next few weeks My question is will this present any problems registering it etc Is there any markings ie numbers that tie the body to the chassis number etc? Or am I free to swap the body and registration and licensing will never be able to tell Of it ever has to go over the pits? Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumcajs Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 It depends where any VIN numbers are stamped. In most cases those are on plates afixed to the body and some panel inside the engine bay might be stamped too. Some vehicles with chassis have VIN numbers on the chassis as well. If it is just the ally plates riveted in the firewall than does anyone needs to know? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGQWesty Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Pretty sure all can be done legally with a bit of paper and a trip over the pits.. $$$ may vary depending on how well you know the bloke and your home state.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogmeister Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Another option would be get a set of stamps and destroy the numbers on your old body after you put those numbers on the new one. I don't know much about the legalities of doing this but it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
