You'll have to buy the whole car, tax and mot it and then swap the number plates with the dvla to get the number plates.

That's what I was going to do, put my engine in it and then brake my car up and try and make my money back from parts. Got no space though or the time or knowledge of how to do it all :(

engine swap is about as easy as you can get buddy a lot easier than doing a cambelt or clutch

I know some one said it could be done in a day or two. It's just getting the car back with no tax or Mot was the problem too. I wrecked my brains for ages, going through companies and people to help me bring it back but every quote was around £200 just to collect the thing. I just haven't got that kind of money at the moment unfortunately. So just trying to work with the lude I've got which just seems to be slowly breaking on me :(

Is that not the number plate that was on Crazy's old 4th gen?

No, was mine from initial issue by the DVLA. I've even tried pleading with them to let me have it back :(
If the car gets scrapped the number plate will not be reissued either.

Well, it looks like the car will sell on ebay as already had a bid equal to the reserve.
Have also had an offer of £200 just for the lights so maybe I should break it.........

Have you got a list of work for the MOT? Im guessing youve had it checked before hand as im assuming you would have liked top keep the numberplate? I ask as the only parts that I would like would be the numberplate, wheels and if humanly possible those lights on mine . :)
Not done a thing with it, the ABS could well just need bleeding, needs a good run to clean off the brake discs and probably new tyres as the tread is pretty low and of course the tyres are over 5 years old.

be a shame to break it and lose the plate, you never know it may fetch more than you would get in parts. leave it run and see what happens ;)
