Well I pulled the number plate cover off so I could measure and drill the new holes, not rocket science but it seemed to take a really long time, anyway, I found a few things, well I found rust in a number of places the four holes that held the chrome number plate on were all a different size and all had rust, which is fair enough I suppose given it had spent the last 39 years in the humidity of Saigon, but if the "new" paint job involved stripping back to bare metal and adding 4 layers of primer and paint, why is there rust....me thinks the paint job might have been a bit half arsed. The little chrome step had green spray paint under it, that tells me that a quick touch up would do the trick before we send it on its way.
