Hello.
I was asked to start a new thread about chassis numbers instead of using an old thread.
I have bought a C1 that needs complete restoration.
Needs an registration based on original forms and car+body. Also have the original number plates.
The engine is one year later than the birthday of the car. All the ancillaries with number are correct for the engine of that year.
The above is based on all the info I have found on this forum.
VIN plate on the steering wheel is correct but the chassis number(under the seating rail) is unreadable. At least partly.
I want to correct this but cannot see what type/font the numbers and letter is. And what is the height?.
Does somebody know.
Did you try sandblasting the frame with glass bead and a hand held Spot blaster ? They blast a quarter size circle without a mess and should bring the stamping up .
Thanks for reactions.
I have to add the following. To find the number I went the brutal way. Cutting an opening in the threshold. Because the chassis and body are still one unit. When seperating ( if possible) the Goverment can say reject the car. So I am in a full circle. Car bought from big respected firm with all paperwork.
and I know that I am doing is on the edge.
All for an perfect car within some years.
Info needed.
It might be best if we also know what Country and State you are in……for legal reasons.
Hansoplast's profile shows he is in the Netherlands. Their laws may be quite different from ours, but it sounds like he is getting hassled by his government ( .gov's are all alike in regards to making things difficult ). If I understand, he bought the car but may not be allowed to keep it.
