Are you likely to have a good look through you car before hand? Getting your own parts list is going to be key to the restoration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Pounsett Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 See if the guy will put together a list of what he’s selling and post it on here as @Jessopia74said. Im after a few bits as are others. Getting the chrome arches is a result, decent ones are hard to find for sensible money. Chrome arch trim is the new Bitcoin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 If the chai’s number and engine match it’s hardly a worry. The VIN plate is only riveted on after all, so they can never be trusted alone. The MOT history can be checked on gov site, reg you can check against known data at https://www.rapidcarcheck.co.uk/free-car-specs-by-entering-registration/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanks sometimes show up on eBay, original blanks are very expensive and tbh I can’t say I have seen any Vauxhall ones, but I only look for opel ones anyway.
