My understanding is it is legal as long as you own all the parts.If I own 2 tubs and use 1/3 of one and 2/3 of the other shouldn,t it be titled with the 2/3 number? If you are talking about disclosure laws on resale then it,s still legal to repair a car using used parts. Knowledge of accident history should be disclosed. I also owned a 1986 911 years ago(1988-96). When I bought it, it was a theft recovery and the windshield vin tag was missing. It had been title washed by moving through several jurisdictions, but was pretty obvious since it was a 2 yr old cab with 20000 mi for $20k Porsche replaced the missing vin tag through the parts dept. An inspection at the dealer was required to verify all the other numbers were present, The vin is at several places on the tub and some more which might only be visable with some disassembly. Then $25 and about 6 weeks and a new metal tag arrived. I installed it and sold the car a few years later. Even though the title didn,t show a theft recovery I disclosed the flaw. Same with the changed engine in the 1964 Vette. Some resellers are more upfront than others. Some will disclose when asked ,some don,t want to know so they don,t need to disclose. I am a licensed mechanic in Canada and can legally repair cars for compensation and these were private cars.I am not a dealer and am not required to disclose but I usually do.
