jonnyattwood 0 Posted November 30, 2014 Hi guys, Just looking to get a bit more of an idea on where I stand insurance wise with a conversion. I have gnarly for the corrado through the MOT and because I'm getting older I feel it's time to be more responsible, so I've got a few quotes with full mods list including engine change to R32. But the problem I have now os where I stand with the DVLA as I take it they need to know also. Question 1 is can I insure it all mods declared and not tell the DVLA and if anything did go wronged be covered? Question 2 is if I decided to tell the DVLA what would they want off me to sort it out? Engine number, proof of purchase etc. Seeing as the guy who did the conversion before me and I bought the car 18 months ago I feel id have a problem finding out where the engine came from, also I was lied.to about quite alot of things about the car and I'm kind of worrying that the engine is more than likely not legit. If anyone could shine any light on this it would be much appreciated Jonny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They typed a quick letter up on VW paper and that was all that was to it. the alternative was receipt for the engine and receipt from a mechanic for fitting it, neither of which i had...
