Would have the same problems as trying to register a new Choke body - legally that is.

There is a Mini K that recently belonged to a member here, when it got reshelled not long after its birth due to a bad accident, the RTA used the body part number that was stamped on it.. 
Not sure how you would go these days, I think their rules now exclude reshelling with a `body in white' or in this case blue. |

The SAVING GRACE might be that the PO never tried to register this shell after the purchasing it. Even if the GT it was bought to re-shell was transferred in to this shell and sat for decades it was never officially put into the system. As stated above Re-shelling may be illegal now as opposed to when the shell was originally purchased. Re-birthing : (Removing the compliance/id plates from a shell and replacing with those from another.) Legal NO NO Re-shelling : (using a clean shell without ID to fix a damaged Vehicle) Common practise in US and UK and legal. Cheers Rob |

Maybe times have changed but one of my sister's old boyfriends supported a VERY expensive ski racing hobby by rebuilding written off Foulcan GTs using new shells from Ford... Can you buy a new Falcon shell today???? Cheers, Ian |
