I also say that this sight is not a numbers dominated site so lets get back to the ordinary conversation and leave the numbers to other sites? Everybody just enjoy the cool stickers and even those who dont like the cool stickers enjoy them anyway!
James, this is a Sandman site and as such all things Sandman will be discussed. Some are sticklers for numbers matching cars and some are not. Both are legitimate conversations.

I completely understand where OZ is coming from with regards to the chassis number being the cars identity and I also know that Qld. Transport will order a chassis number to be obliterated and restamped in the case of a legal chassis replacement. I don't know if other States will do the same but assume they would. Otherwise there are two conflicting chassis numbers on a vehicle when a replacement chassis is sourced from a wreckers, one on the chassis itself and one on the data plate.

This is a totally different case compared to say fitting a HZ wagon onto a Landcruiser chassis which is classed as a body swap... not a chassis replacement. In this case the vehicle would be re-registered as a Landcruiser and not a HZ Holden so the chassis number remains as the Landcruiser one.

It also effectively stops people fitting a HQ chassis to a WB and being able to register it with a 350 engine without running it on LP gas only.
