    Exactly what he is saying. If you put a HZ chassis under a HQ it then becomes a HZ and must comply with all HZ ADR's.

    Just grind the HQ chassis number off the chassis and clean it up. When you go to register it tell them you lost the chassis number while restoring your car and they will issue you with a police number and you will retain the HZ identification of the car. Therefor it will be a HZ Sandman with a change over chassis.

    No different from losing your engine number when you deck the block.... Why do you guys make things so complicated??????? :Chin:

    Pardon my ignorance here ( and please don't get narky at me) but if a HZ Sandman has a police issue chassis, this would remove some of it's "authenticity" would it not, therefore devalue it from the selling price of a matching numbers van with correct chassis????
    Also what happens with the number on the compliance plates that correspond to the correct chassis number???
    BO6 = Rarer then a Sandman

    Incorrect chassis number will always raise question, a police number would mean I would just walk away from it and never return.
    As for grinding off chassis numbers, well that is way out of the realms of what I consider legit. I have two blank RTS chassis here, and considered a few options with them, but in the end the only person I would be fooling was myself.
    Just find the right vehicle to start with, thats how you avoid the hassels.

    It's time I opened my 18 year old bottle of Laphroaig. It always makes thing like this seem peaceful.

    Best thing to do is just fix cars for the love of fixing cars. If you're doing it for the monetary value then you can't have any fun with it.
