Assuming that i only buy the chassis and bodywork from this post:
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=116517#
Would i need to put it again through IVA?
Obviously would need engine/gearbox/diff etc.....
but the car is allready SVA'd
What happens?
if you also get the log book then its the same car but you'll probably have to inform the DVLA of the new engine number at some point if you want to sell it on. As gearbox and diff numbers arn't recorded by the DVLA they will be none the wiser.
im no expert but the chassis number is on the chassis and nothing else, jsut need to inform dvla of he new engine number, body colour or whatever else changes, as long as the chassis number and reg are the same.
Would the V5 be sold with the chassis?
my question would be
'why would you want to do that!?'
if the car is already SVA'd and road legal why would you want to put yourself through the expense (& hassel) of IVA when the car is already
on the road?
just buy the whole car and then put whatever engine you want in it and sell the other one, then just tell the DVLA of the engine change
job done

I'm probably missing something, but why not use the engine as well?
Looks like a good engine. 175bhp from a 1.6 isn't to be sniffed at!

and the problem is??
1.6 with 175 bhp is high performance, depending who you talk to, others will say not.
Just be gently with the right foot and you'll be fine.
You have to factor in cost and time of work to fit in a lesser engine - I will have a 1300 crossflow for sale soonish....
