Hey guys, I have the opportunity to purchase a 1965 series 2 that means restoration. I've always loved the look and feel of all the seven cars, and I even owned a berry mini t dune buggy that looks similar.
But I'm going to be honest with you I'm lost. So I guess I'll just ask away.
The chassis number on the car U1148. And the car comes with no title. The component data plate looks like it has some numbers scratched in it sb11 is all I can read. What the scratches look like kids scratches. Can anyone help me with any information on this chassis?
Next, is it sacrilege to change the color? Currently the car is red, and aluminum. I really really want a gunmetal gray and black car. But I don't know if this is considered bad, and if it'll hurt the value or the historical significance. Just not a red and silver fan. Plus I would like to powder coat the frame.
Next, where is a good resource for obtaining parts? I'm told the car has an upgraded 1.2 l engine but I don't really know much beyond that.
Lastly, is there a way to track down the original title and or history of the owner if there ever was one?
Thank you guys for your time and I hope you guys can help me out. I'm really hoping this project turns out awesome.
