No you can't as the chassis/ body is one complete structure. Vw heritage used to sell brazillian shells but pretty sure they're well discontinued

It is the most integral part of the vehicle. I have never heard of anyone needing to replace one as if it is knackered, the vehicle is usually beyond repair and is scrapped. Generally the things to go are the out riggers and jack points, these are available as repair panels, else buying second hand body cuts can help out. You may even get a complete chassis from FBI and the likes, but would probably make more sense to buy a van with a decent chassis 1st as the body panels are easier to repair .

As has been suggested, the chassis is an integral part of the body shell. You wont find a chassis as such but maybe cuts to replace parts of the chassis. If the whole chassis is toast then it's likely to be not financially viable to repair unless you have loads of time and are good at welding (it is possible, but loads of work). Also if the chassis is that bad, the bodywork is probably hiding all kinds of horrors. Being brutally honest (sorry!) it may be better to cut your losses and buy a dry import and start again.

Its not as bad as that it just thought it would be better to replace the whole chasis other than the pieces that are rotten

Hi there bud, F.B.I. sell all sorts of body cuts mainly imported from the dry states of the USA. I believe they are in Swansea, in Wales, in the UK. They also sell lots of other vw stuff. As the other guys have said, the chassis is an integral part of your body.
