Bill,

 

Congrats! If the car was built from the basic kit, it will have a 7 character number like mine - "BIYXXXX" (Build It Yourself). If it was built from a rolling chassis, it will have a longer number. The number appears in two places on the chassis. One under one of the front legs of the rollover bar. Another on the left side upper horizontal diagonal frame tube in the engine compartment.

 

One thing you want to check is the front ride height. It appears in the pic in the Craigslist ad that it is set too low - the lower control arms are parallel with the ground. This can result in bent lower control arms. The ride height in front must be set to 294mm between the shock eyes. There is a discussion of this and factory drawings with the specs at the birkinowners yahoo mailing list in the "Files" area:

You (and anyone else here) would be most welcome to join that list - lots of Birkin specific expertise available.

 

Regards,

Bernie
