Rocco identity swapping?



Melissa has been cleaning the engine bay of her shell in prep for a 
paintjob, and I was wondering, after the swap is done, could I use the VIN 
from the donor car?  The only thing really staying from the shell is the 
unibody, suspension, steering and maybe the brakes.  EVERYTHING else will 
come from her donor car.  It would be way easier to use the old VIN; no 
paperwork changes (read: $$ to DOT), no insurance changes, etc.  Somebody 
has to have come across this at one time or another.  Where are all the 
occurrences of the VIN on a Rocc?  I can think of three, dash, under hood 
and driver's doorjam.

The donor is an 87 8v, and the shell is an 86 8v, so there really wouldn't 
be any difference, I guess.

Thoughts?
