yeah i refurbished the diff, took the brakes and suspension off the wrecked chassis and put it on a new chassis. had to get someone to do the welding which is why it was away for awhile. |

Why? chassis from one car, bodyshell from another, driveline from a third different model car- i dunno what to do with the modplate i already have and what VIN do i use to register it |

Pretty sure VIN is always the chassis number? What remains from the first car, just driveline? not always on older cars. and he said it is different body different chassis so 2 different numbers already!! engine won't be a problem, I would speak to dept tpt soon as and explain the situation, they will probably supply you with either a reasonable explanation of how to go about it this way or issue you with a new number. |

Ash maybe you can help me, how do i go about regoing the Hq with the v8 in it? do i just go in there and say its a v8 now and pay the differance, and of course supply the new enginbe number. Id leave it regoed as a six but i have shitty luck Jay, most people will say you don't need a plate, most engineers will say get a plate. I got one for a ute I threw a 253 in years ago, they like to do it so they can see that the conversion is done properly.... any cowboy can throw a motor in a car (you are living proof ) take it to a mech and see what they say. put the sucker on club reg too if you are all whiney about the rego fees. |

Pretty sure VIN is always the chassis number? What remains from the first car, just driveline? yup gearbox and engine, suspension and brakes. mod plated for the old car so even though i've carried across all the brakes etc to compensate i guess i have to get another mod plate not always on older cars. and he said it is different body different chassis so 2 different numbers already!! engine won't be a problem, I would speak to dept tpt soon as and explain the situation, they will probably supply you with either a reasonable explanation of how to go about it this way or issue you with a new number. VIN on my holden is different to the body number, which is same as chassis number. vin is long tag that states where car was built, options (81837 = GTS350 Coupe) etc.... body and chassis number are the ones that give it a numerical value, they don't tell you squat about what the car is. mr Monkey's VIN on the body is the important number..... that is the number he will need for transport dept. yeah DoT has been unhelpful so far, except for telling me to cancel the rego lol they did say because the body is not structural i can modify the firewall.. which is irrelevant to me. will have to ring again. several times probably lol |

Interesting that they run a transverse rear spring.. with an IFS on the rear. What a weird combination.. Do those springs come with reversed spring eyes or did you have them reversed yourself? the spring is standard spitfire equipment afaik, came like that. the rest of the rear suspension is a mash up of lancia and fiat stuff welded on to suit. |

OMG LOOK WHO'S BACK OMGOMGOMGOMG HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA By the way. It looks the same as it did 12 months ago. I work on it 3 arvos a week for a few hours. Only started on it 2 weeks ago and have got all the boxing plates fully welded and the center crossmember fabbed and finish welded. Working on fabbing the steering box and pedal box mounts. Could have it rolling on four '40 wheels if I could be bothered taking the front end and diff to work. Milk crates are easier for now. Chassis should be finished by end of the year. Milk crate and gas bottle aren't period correct. GTFO. Fuck off idiot. |

That won't be happening, i've already pulled a Model A apart from a running car to a frame as it is, they are super easy and if i had a few hours and all my running gear and suspension at work i'd have it sitting on four wheels ready to roll around. |
