A New Identity (plate)

The old engine compartment identification plate was looking worn and unreadable.  Additionally, it was not the correct plate for my model year (I'm guessing it was replaced when the car was repainted).



I purchased a reproduction blank from ZeddSaver that was period correct for my car.  


I also purchased a 4mm number stamp set as I would need to stamp my own VIN and Engine serial numbers.  Having never done this before, I made sure to practice on a scrap piece of aluminum prior to stamping the new ID plate.  I used some extra door sill plate stainless screws to fasten the plate to the engine compartment.
