Greetings!
I recently acquired a heavily modified BN1 or BN2 series vehicle with a serious identity problem. It presently sports a state-issued VIN plate on the firewall, which of course has no relationship to the original chassis number. My goal is to establish the original series and chassis number to use with a repro chassis ID plate from Moss Motors, in order to re-register it with my state DMV under the proper VIN.
So far, the only identifying number I have been able to locate is the body number "3490" on the underside of all three pieces of aluminum cockpit trim. Without going into the depressing details, most of the usual clues (engine, transmission, firewall, front brake drums, rear hubs) that would even serve to identify the series (BN1 vs BN2) are missing or altered.
So, any suggestions from the experts out there?
Thanks in advance for your help!
