Re: Re-Stamping Engine Number / Frame Number
just a comment:
re-stamped metal can easily be proven by the use of acids, so don't think that an expert can be fooled. Re-stamping an engine may or may not be a criminal offence where you live, i don't know. Here in germany it may be seen as fraud by a judge.
This may be huge problem to a possible buyer of your car. When i was looking for an A, i found a very nice one on Ohio. I was very close to finishing the deal when we found out that the engine number was not the number on the title. re-stamping would have been one way out. But the american customs, the european customs or the local police could have checked the engine number, decided it was re-stamped and confiscated the car, leaving me with a few thousand Euros less in the petty cash and no A.
Re-stamping may be fine in your situation but it can have devastating effects on a possible buyer...
