from the VICROADS website

Proof of identity for reshelled, rebuilt or stolen and recovered vehicles
When reshelled, rebuilt or stolen and recovered vehicles are presented for re-registration, registration or if currently registered and the original Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or chassis number is either unavailable or obliterated or moved to another body shell, ie; Holden vehicles manufactured after 1989 where the VIN number is located under the windscreen, the following must be provided to verify the original identity of the vehicle before a surrogate (replacement) VIN or VP number can be issued:

Proof of origin of vehicle
Evidence of the purchase of the damaged vehicle must be provided. This evidence must be an original receipt and must identify the vehicle by its VIN or chassis number.
To prevent the number from being reused, the original VIN or chassis number must be added to the stolen/suspect vehicle database with a notation that the original vehicle has been rebuilt and a surrogate VIN or VP number issued

Where a VIN or chassis number has been tampered with, defaced, or is invisible to the naked eye, notification from the Police clearing and identifying the VIN must be supplied before registration is granted.
Any vehicle for which the original VIN or chassis number cannot be identified must not be registered.

Proof of legal ownership of replacement parts
Original receipts for all major parts used in the rebuild must be produced (eg. engine, replacement shell etc). If an imported vehicle has been used to provide a replacement body shell for a damaged vehicle, the import papers (photocopy acceptable) issued by the Federal Office of Road Safety must be provided to verify its identity. If only a body shell has been used in the rebuild process, then the Australian Customs clearance papers for the importation of the body shell must be produced.

Although original receipts must be returned to the vehicle operator, they should be date stamped with the name of the office where the vehicle was presented to prevent original receipts being used as proof items for more than one vehicle.

i checked the website and does not state anything about statutory write-offs. well they do mention about it but not in the context of stolen cars. last time i was at the auctions they stated that all stolen cars are statutory ride-off and hence cannot be re-registered. but this might not be the case, just phone up the gooses at rta. i dont trust them at all and try to talk to a few ppl and make sure, i could not find the brochure i used to have about this crap, i know one exists. new law went into action 28/08/2003 and the link u have was last updated 7/4/2003.

link about the statutory write-offs

Irrelevant, but I saw a really nice 2 yr old BMW 540i from NSW at Fowles auction recently.
It could not be registered in any state of Oz except for VIC as it a repaired write-off.

How does this make you Victorians road-users fell!?!?

With this and no yearly going over the pits when you have to renew rego in Victoria, you should see all the rusted **** boxes on the roads here.. Being from NSW originally this greatly suprised me.. :shock:
