Hi,
I'm currently doing some chassis repairs due to rust on my 1974 Lamborghini which involves replacing a front box section which has the main stamped VIN number (there's the usual pop-riveted ID plate in the engine bay).
I know it's not a 911 but thought someone might be able to advise
I really cannot save the box section but the VIN area on the box section is fine. I have replacement metal going in but will need to get the VIN back on. It's not just a number and is like "Lamborghini * nnnnn" (nnnnn is the chassis number) so cannot be easily reproduced.
Clearly if I let the old VIN area into the new section it could look suspect - even if I did a good job.
So anyone know the legalities ? as it must happen frequently when restoring rusty old cars
