Could this be a sandman - Chassis swap

[TwoTees]

Oh gawd, I swore I wasn't going to wade into this.
But you just sumed it up "the vehicle has no valid compliance plate" in that the only thing calling it a sandman, on the car with a swaped chasis is the compliance plate. In this instance the compliance plate in invalid (ie, this is no longer relevent to this car). So if the compliance plate is no longer vaild, it's no longer the car on the compliance place, so it's no longer a sandman.

No-one said anything about it not being able to be registered, of course you can, it's just not registered as the original car as it is no longer the original car.

TooTees, whatever we're calling it, your van when restored will be great and you'll love it if your threads on fixing tailgates are anything to go buy.

I think from now on, whenever someone feels like replying to this thread they should go imediatly to the shed and do an hours work on their van as penance, I can't see any new information coming to light. I've just come from the shed so I'm excused...

Hey Goat,
Welcome aboard.

The vehicle, technically does not have a compliance plate. Yes. Because it can no longer be 100% verified to comply with the ADRs on it. Below is a statement that shows how they get around this and it states if the model has been recognised as model before all is still ok. But, the standard states the vehicle can continue being the vehicle is it. No need for a new rego. Same vehicle. The vehicle has a vehicle plate to identify the vehicle and the vehicle is made up of many parts.

We are debating that the vehicle takes on the identity of the donor chassis. Can someone please highlight the clause that says this.

By the way. If it sounds like I am posting in a shouty voice, sorry, I am not.

I have highlighted a clause that states the vehicle remains unchanged.

A vehicle currently registered in NSW and not fitted with a compliance plate can continue to be
registered providing it remains roadworthy.

hqgts also posted this up (note: where it says "stamped on body" in our case the body is a chassis.)

A previously registered vehicle (second hand vehicle) where the chassis/VIN number stamped on the
body does not match the chassis/VIN number on the compliance plate, may be registered at any motor
registry where:
• the vehicle is known to have been manufactured in Australia and known to be of a model that
complies with the Australian Design Rules,

This more so states what we are debating. It states that they will accept ADR's based on what the Model was recognised to have for the vehicle. NOT the adr's from the vehicle that was once attached to the donor chassis as claimed. In other words they will accept it as the vehicle it was.

What I keep on asking for is, from anyone, is a clause in the legislation that states what OZbox says. How can anyone take completely, 100% law, from the word of statements made by people, even an RTA officer, without seeing the clause in a legislated document that states it.

If this argument went to court it would be laughed out in seconds because one side of the argument has not one bit of legislated proof. Or at least has failed to provide it.
