its illegal bro...


as far as dash... you can just pop the rivets out and swap the vins if it matters that much.. but firewall and door jam vin swapping is illegal.

i guess how i worded it was wrong. 240A was stolen and they hit a tree and frame is bent so i went and found 240B(auto) head gasket blown, interior is bad($400 ). both are the same model(SE) and year(1993), what i wanted to do is swap out all of the interior, motor and tranny from 240A into 240B. the reason i want to swap VIN is because 240B has a bad dash and i want 240A's dash into 240B but i want 240B's VIN on 240A's dash which is going to go into 240B. is that clear?? i'm kinda confused now..

but you should understand what i mean..

if i pop out the rivets is it reusable? should i go buy new ones?

thanks Biggamehit

lol ik now what you mean i just recently did that well what you do is when u have both dash's out u drill out the 2 rivets that hold the vin plate on and it comes right off. put the vin plate on the good dash with a hand powered rivet gun. and since rivets come aluminum what i did it steal some black nail paint from my friend and paint the rivets black to make it look clean
