I have these two tins for the rear, why are they different? (holes and notch)
Are the differences year related or something else?  |

Thanks Jeff, I'll check on my vehicle history...
I was mistaken, my yellow car (the freshly painted tin) is a '73 2.0 with original tin. according to the VIN# "Ruby" the red car (dirty tin) was built 500+ cars later. Maybe @Fiacra knows if Ruby had a transplant, or is that info on the body tag? (engine#) I'll look when the sun comes up. |

I only know two of the previous owners and they didn't change the engine. Nice to see Ruby getting such good care! No more dirty tins for her (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
