Hello! I have a 914 that has been a race car since early 90’s. I have never seen a VIN stamp anywhere on this car. I’m joining PCA and it won’t let me continue the registration process without a valid VIN.

Car has no original interior, glass, engine. Some of the body looks like it’s been repaired.

Any hidden areas I can check?

This was not as beautiful as yours, I grabbed the only gray I had, but I can fix it later.
This was like an archeological dig, finding the old city under the new, exposing three colors the car has worn.

Wire brush work, and I almost thought I dug too far on the last VIN number, 4.

Then I taped over it and trimmed with a razor freehand (probably could have used a straightedge, but hey, it’s not a concourse car, ITS A RACE CAR!

Finally, I sprayed the non-matching grey paint over everything but the VIN, let it dry, then removed the paint. I then scraped off the old paint that wasn’t covered by the gray, then a coat of clear. Good enough, but will find a matching grey later and correct.
See next post....
