Hi everyone.

I'm just setting off with my build. I've found a company from autotrader which has several stolen / recovered sierras listed.

Am i likely to have any kind of problem when it comes to registering if i use a stolen / recovered donor?

TIA.

Not sure where you stand on that one, some one will, but with straight cars costing from nothing upwards why take the risk ?

i do no one lad who had loads a trouble with registering his car when he used a "stolen recoverd" bike engine, even though it was all above board, reciepts ect....

be carfull.

the registering i am not sure about, but alot of insurance company's will be funny about stolen/rec, as thay do not like paying out twice on a car, so insuring it may prove to be a problem, depending on how it was lost. ie; total loss, written off etc.(will matter if its lost or damaged) i would stick with a strait engine/log book, save any hassel!!!! The sva and insurance(claiming!!) is hard work enough!!
