Not a problem, but you are correct, it's not quite as simple as it might seem. If you could have your friend take some good photos of the various number stampings (detailed on your other thread) we could decipher them for you here. Or if you'd like have him call me when he's next to the car and I could walk him through it.

Cheers!
