How much trouble do I get in for swapping vins? ..What Should I do?
Alright so here is the deal...
My current CRX body is like...well I just did a ---- load of body work and all of that ---- and painted it ...but it was rear ended and all that bullshit so i mean...the filler will crack one day and all that so I dont know...
I can buy this CRX for $500 but only as a "parts car". Meaning I can never get a ------- title for it or so the dmv bitch told me. I think i should beable to contact the previous owner and get a title that way or something maybe
If I can't get a title, I'm thinking about swapping dashes from my old crx to this one (they both are 91 si's)...What kind of trouble do I get into for this IF i get caught which is very unlikely... I knwo there is a vin number on the firewall and in the door jam but i could paint over the sticker or just remove it in the door jam and i could prolly cut/and weld that vin in the engine bay and grind down the welds..ya know
otherwise, does anyone have some insight on this on if i could ever get a salvage title for it or any advice on what i should do...
also, could I take a parts car and use it for a track car??

you could get away with it, i am sure. no one is going to check it out. if it matches the title you have why would they, right? you must be close to the wisconsin and minnesota border.

I'm in Madison myself, and have owned 10 cars in the past 5 years. Not once have they checked anything about anything with any of them, I'd say go for it. Wisconsin isn't known for cracking down on ---- like that. Swap dem bitches
