If you have a V5 and are using a Donor you may be able to still get an age related plate even using a bike engine, You need 2 major components from the donor. If you use any 2 of the following you could get an age related registration.

Chassis/Body Shell
Axles
Transmission
Steering Assembly
Engine
Suspension (front and back)

So in your case you could use the axles and steering though that would mean using the sierra steering rack but it might be worth the extra effort.

big smiles...
collecting my donor on sunday, had a laugh this afternoon, phoned my insurance company up to put temp cover on the donor, they asked me all the usual questions, reg/engine size etc, they then said yep no prob they have the chassis vin details from a database, i said oh whilst you,ve got that database up please tell me what colour it is, the guy couldn,t believe i didn,t know the colour of a car i,m buying, he also told me its an LX model (whats the difference of spec?), sorry i know its a boring post but it feels like another chapter of my build.
cheers

LX means it's more to insure...just another con where manufacturers add an ashtray or something daft.

its an estate so if anyone wants the roof i,ll cut it out as it might be long enough to be useful in the locost sense.
