Lexus V8 with NOS in a Renault Espace - yeah lets do it !
Discussion
Work is still continuing but there is very little to show , I have basically been attaching everything properly , bumpers sills etc , they are now held on with bolts and brackets rather than tape and tie-wraps !
The front seat belt mounts are very nearly complete and some interior trim parts are back in , on the exterior I have vinyl wrapped the door trims and will be fitting them all soon .
I have added 2 silencers back on the exhaust system and just about completed the 'engine cover' .
Before and after side repeater trim

This is probably a very easy to answer question but it just occurred to me: what do you put this bizarre and amazing conglomerate down as in your insurance policy?
It's just an LS400 with a bodykit, any fool can see that!MiniMan64 said:

It's just an LS400 with a bodykit, any fool can see that!I believe it's a 'points scoring' exercise.
So long as the majority of the components come from one particular make/model of car, (and you can prove it!), then the reg' doc' goes with that.
As it's on Lexus running gear, (the majority of the components), with a 'bodykit' then I would guess it's still a Lexus LS400, with 'mod's'.
Still cool as fk though!

Indeed. That's kind of what I was getting at although I admit I wasn't very clear. So long as the majority of the components come from one particular make/model of car, (and you can prove it!), then the reg' doc' goes with that.

Nope, because the monocoque shell's been modified, so it's automatically straight to IVA regardless of points.So long as the majority of the components come from one particular make/model of car, (and you can prove it!), then the reg' doc' goes with that.

Get a ‘Q’ registration number
You won’t be able to keep your vehicle’s original registration number if 1 of the following applies:
I think that last one is the clincher here...You won’t be able to keep your vehicle’s original registration number if 1 of the following applies:
- it has fewer than 8 points
- it has a second-hand or altered chassis, monocoque bodyshell or frame
- there’s evidence that 2 vehicles have been welded together to form 1 (ie ‘cut and shut’)
