If you perform a cut & shut operation on a vehicle which vehicles identity do you end up with?

For instance if I were to have an LH Torana front grafted on to an LX hatch rear would I have:

A: a 1977 LX hatch still

B: a 1974 LX hatch

C: a 1974 LH sedan

any combination of the above?




It shi ts me to tears when the media & state politicians refer to the Federal Government as "Canberra"

As all of the identifying information is on the front of the car you would have an LH with a modified rear end.
As joining 2 cars together is a serious endeavour engineering input would be required.
I presume this would be your plan if you couldnt find

You only have to be in front at the end of the race.

Hi Jim.

What a minefield!

In realility, what you end up with is a 1/2 LH, 1/2 LX hatch with a LH chassis number & plates, which isn't a good look.

What should be done is to also graft the piece with the chassis stamping onto the
LH front along
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0
