Well if I'm to SVA to hell with the steel shell!
If I'm to have my mini mojo SVA tested i might as well ditch the shell (wich will probably rust, again!) and go for a complete fibreglass body
shell.
I've already got a fibreglass front end, bonnet, boot and doors! So might as well go the whole hog!
The only reason i was trying to keep the shell was to keep the registration and avoid SVA but as I'm now going to SVA they'll probably Q
plate it anyway!
shame not to keep the reg plate but I'm not that fussed.
I think you were changing too much at once to hold onto the registration. You could have changed the engine then later the suspension etc each time modifying the details on the log book. Think of all the old landrovers that are really not the same cars at all due to all the swaps over the years. Some times though it just isn't worth involving the DVLA at all as all you need from them is a tax disk..
when you eventually modified the monocoque though, it'd need an sva, so you may as well get it out of the way while the regulations are still
reasonably lax.
you'd never have kept the original registration, just the prefix or suffix of the plate, just to clarify.

'scuse me both my Range Rover and my Series 2 are all original mechanical bits and chassis!!!!
