I bought a VB Commodore over the weekend, just for parts...I can't find the chassis number...I looked on the top of the radiator support panel, just above the right hand large compliance plate, where my VC number is...I checked all round the top of the radiator support panel, with no luck....I looked around both strut towers and the firewall....No luck Anyone have other suggestions where to look? I can onsell the car to the wreckers, but they need the chassis number to accept the car....
It was common & quicker back in the day to replace radiator support than replace...bye bye numbers. Decades later owners would need new v.i.n to get cars re-registered
start sanding back to bare metal, numbers usually very faint anyway and most spray jobs cover/fill them, or cut metal into a thousand pieces and sell to the boy scouts as scrap metal, last time I did it was 20 cents a kilo.
Dunno. Just a suggestive long shot thought with no knowledgeable basis. Wondering if they had it stamped on the drivers floor like current models.
Look around radiator support where spot welds supposed to be you'll usually spot damage or welds to know it's been changed.
The chassis number in VB's are in one spot, just below the the bonnet holding rod thingo, next to ADR plate. If no number, its had that top radiator support panel replaced
Last of the vh models numbers went to strut towers.Cousin's immaculate vh that he bough late 90's had them there which was a surprise to us. vk it was standard issue.
My VC one is just above the right hand side compliance plate..... It is looking very much like a replacement rad panel, which is a pita.... Thanks everyone that replied...
Got a VH here and it's on the left hand strut tower, which is why I actually checked there....Not sure when it was built, but can find out... Thanks for your input...Much appreciated
VB probably been pranged & repaired so don't sweat it. Not sure when holden started putting vin number on driver's floorpan...never noticed it when had vt 5.0 however easily noticed it on vy sv8.
