Body Swap in NSW

Post by DIRTY ROCK STAR »

Hey all,

Looking at putting a 74 cruiser body onto a newer chassis.
Does the rego stay as a 1974 or would it be updated to say a 1990??

Can anyone help me with the rules etc on this??

Would it need a newer engine then or not??

anyone had good or bad experiences there any tips??

You'll need a 1990 model engine and polution gear ETC

The body will also have to meet all 1990 ADR's ETC.

I look at it and put it into the to hard basket.

Who's going to know if you swapped a body over really?? :? As long as it fits nicely, its not like they check your chassis # regularily :idea:

Toyota ID lettering and numbering is odd, can't get matching stamps.

You'd need to cut and shut the area of the chassis with the numbers, but thast creates strength issues.

Reckon new diffs, as long as your chassis isn't stuffed.

Given it's a 'replacement part' for the car, you could (with the help of an engineer) get away with calling it a replacement part for your car. Have you checked with one?
