I have a Spare EK i bought a few years back (2007) that has a chassis kit and a fibreglass front clip. The car will most likely never see the road in a registered form and i bought it with the intentions of modifying it and getting all of that side of things out on it so i don't mess with my 215 too much.

With that in mind and knowing that the car will never need to meet rego standards or have to get engineered. How hard do you think it would be drop the body over the chassis kit?
Just thinking about it i may need to weld in a new rear clip. Has anyone Body dropped an EK or any car for that matter, any advise would be greatly apreciated.
Why can't it be engineered?

Very true and I guess I could aim to get it registered, but the main goal is to work on it lol
