logbook title, can i change the name of motor?
 

Hi all,
at the moment i'm building a classic mini clubman estate, but with a twist!
I have put the complete floor and drivetrain from a mazda mx5!
All the running gear is standard as are brakes, suspention and steering.
Ive applyed for a new logbook for the mini, and i have the one for the mazda.
I'm not sure which logbook to use?
Do i use the mini and get the old plate? 1979
Use the mx5 plate, ( would it need an iva test, with the point system? If ive only changed the body?
And if i used the mx5 logbook could i rename the car on it? So that its not a mazda or mx5?
Thanks if you can help, i'll put a few pictures up soon.

If you have changed the "chassis" in any way on the Mazda, e.g. removed the windscreen surround, then you have entered the land of serpents.

I don't want to be the bringer of bad news, but I think you are looking at a test rather than a simple re-body inspection (see the Sammio/Ribble and the MX250 threads).

The car sounds great fun (do you have pics) but I fear that the hard work may have just begun.

If it has to have a test thats fine. Ive had my eye on the manual.

Heres a few pics

Thanks :-) it will be good fun once done. Turbo going on too!!

With the test can i do the basic iva? Or will it need the full test?
Im not a pro and im doing it all myself.
