Question about 3dr's
Do all 3dr wings have date stamps on the top of the wings?
Just went and looked at a 3dr and one of the wings didnt.
Just wing looked original, the mouthing rails looked untouched, the factory seam tape on the front panel was untouched, the mouting was perfect and underneath the underseal looked original.
Very strange i thought all 3dr wings have ford badges and dates stamps.
Do they?
It was the drivers front wing if it makes a difference.
Alos the slam panel was original and ford stamped and date marked and so was the other wing, but not this one.

yeah just seems strange as its that good a job though. I.e not a single mark on the mouthing rail, welds are perefect etc etc
Jsut seems strange.
Its hard a back panel aswell (but not done with a ford part), but also done well, but i would want to put a proper ford item on there, as non-genuine items are wafer thin
Just stuck as what to do.

I am 99% sure they are all stamped but if their not it isn't that bad a thing they could have just been replaced due to a bit of rot, not unusual for an 18 year old car.

yeah thats what me and the owner where thinking.
As there is evidence of paint.
Might ask him to rub that suspected stamp area down a little.

Only 1 of my wings has a date stamp on it BUT like you have said about the car you are looking at, the seals etc are PERFECT
I went through the whole, "Is it, isnt it" thing but in the end it is perfect and without looking for a stamp would never know

If its ben done well enough that the only issue is no date stamp I wouldnt let it put you off mate!

thought so marco
panel must have been done very very early on in its life, and been done by fords.
Not that fussed, its a old car got to expect some knocks.
Cleanest shell i've seen in a while though
64k miles and kept in a warm climate so no rust
