Number plates - what are my options???

[timothy]

Hey guys, I recently bought a non rolling r33 shell to replace the body of my current r33. My current r33 is on the road has bad alignment issues, heap of rust, cracked windscreen and is just waiting for a defect sticker.

So I figured if I bought a shell I could swap everything over to avoid repairing all the rust, paint, windscreen etc. I got the shell really cheap so it made sense to go with this option. However, what are my options with plates? Is there someway I can legally swap them over to my new shell? I don't want to straight up plate swap them and risk the chance of getting caught up in something where I could face fines + no car at all. As far as I'm aware plates are meant to match the cars vin number on rego papers right?

The new shell did not come with plates -

So yeah, what's my options?

Assuming the shell you bought has an Australian compliance plate you will just need to get a rwc and register the car in your state. New number plates will then be provided to you.

If there's no compliance plate? Am I out of luck aha...
