Red face When is it ?

Hi All,

I am very interested in finding out the exact day my car was put together. I know by the numbers that are in the VIN you can work out where and the month the car was made, but can we go that one step further and find the day it was put together ??

There should be a tag under the bonnet that tells you the date month year it was built in.

When I stripped my NC Fairlane, I found stamping dates on the panels that read 12-03-92, i know the car was assembled in april sometime.
If you really want to go to the trouble of ripping your interior out, you might be lucky enough to find a shread of the build sheet that has a date on it.
