Finding the Dino Chassis, VIN, Engine, Transaxle and PF body numbers

Dave, I am guessing some sort of meditation to calm the nerves will be necessary.. not done it myself but would be interested to see good photos of a successful installation stage by stage... Kevin

Having witnessed the rear screen going in on my car i can confirm its a nerve racking expereience, i didnt think glass could bend that much and when it was being prepared i did comment to the guy "are you sure thats my screen" because it didnt look like it would fit in the hole.

15 mins later it was in and complete. Easier with the lids off.

fender liner and trunk lid stay number 821 for S/N 3662.
Why 3662 has younger number than 3656???

Mama mia!

 

Yesterday I carefully removed the felt lining from the underside of my boot/luggage compartment lid expecting to come across the body number in red crayon, and found it.

However, I was surprised by what I found next.

OK, yes.

The other thing I noticed was that the rear bulkhead internal capping has the body number stamped roughly in the middle as expected.

But it is also hand written on both ends.

The rear bulkhead has the body number in crayon as expected.

Does anyone agree that there is also a "2" underlined. What does that mean ? Anyone seen it before ?

I found my body number (620) on a piece of tape stuck to the underside of the trunk carpet -

Mark, very interesting.....
E-series body no. 2 wasn`t allocated to any E-series...
likely your chassis was an E-series prototype chassis with no records and later allocated to chassis no.: #02732, new body no. added

 

Dear Matthias

That is indeed interesting.

Any thoughts as to whether or not there might be another "2" written somewhere else ? Floor perhaps.

Mark

 

no... unlikely I think.... but maybe they kept the dashboard... have a look underneth

 

Will do Matthias. Thank you.

It is due to come out soon anyway.

Mark

 

Sorry Matthias. Have not looked under the dash yet.

However last week I removed the cant rail trims. Both sides have the body number stamped on the clips, but the offside/right hand side one has a piece of tape with the body number on as well.
