Is this Rebirthing or Restoring?

How would this go if you had say a VN Commodore GRP A and the shell was stuffed after a rollover.
You change shell is it now rebirthed????

A little off topic but you can only reshell a VN Group A wit a VN Group A shell
they're factory modified in the rear wheel arches

The modifications were the VL diff being fitted from the reports I've read. Being a bit narrow compared to the VN version.

Both the VN Group A and SV5000 were fitted with VL diffs to allow for the, then huge, 8" rims but the Group A also had the wheel arches modified

You can reshell a VN group A with a Toyota Lexcen body as long as the guy you sell it to doesn't know what he's looking for. Rebirthers don't care about factory authentic. Make the price too good to refuse and someone will snap it up as long as it has the right plates present. There was a guy on TT/ACA not long ago purchased a good priced VC Brock without getting a proper inspection only to find the car had a very obvious and not very good cut and shut.
