Is this is a legal thing or just your opinion?

if you bothered to read the other thread i believe the same comment is in that as well..

im a licensed motor dealer and have been for 30 years so im not gunna waffle on with this shit if it was just my opinion...

the chassis number which is what we are referring to hear is the legal identity of the vehicle...throw the tags over your shoulder and you can still register the car,but if you have no chassis number you must have a police number issued as the chassis number..tags meen nothing in the legal terms of registration..

to expand on what byron has said...take your tagged sandman hz or whatever with hq chassis and register it and it will be a hq not an hz...so if the chassis is stamped AHQ10005 it would be registered as a 1971 hq...regardless of your tags saying its a 5/78 hz...so yes the complete identity of the vehicle is changed and changed to whatever the chassis number is..LEGALLY.

so therefore anyones l31 m21 xx7 whatever is only a set of tin plates on another body wether its the original body to the tags or not if the chassis number does not MATCH the tags...

can you digest any of this 2t...????

Yes! Every word! But i am haveing trouble finding the correct clause in the legislative document that backs up what you are saying!

Can you point me to it please because I've been looking at it for ages and can't find it.
