I can't remember what it's supposed to say for a self build. Something like "Special" if I remember rightly.
If it just says "Escort" or "Cortina" then the owner did not bother to tell the DVLA about the new chassis. It will have to go for an IVA .
If it was registerd then it avoided the IVA/SVA . But a chassis change would legaly require an IVA.
I think if I was in your position, I would re-work the current chassis.
