Something doesn't add up as I doubt BAT would jeopardize their business. It's probably a good thing the original VIN plate isn't there because of the likeliness of ending up on another car.

I will say that rust at the rear window is some serious siht. I've done a rear package tray and no fun. There's a few hundred hours of sheet metal work just roughing in and fitting gaps where needed on that car. And plenty of bolt on replacements too. Anything that moves or unbolts gets replaced and you still have a hell of a job. And I can't see much, like the torsion tube and pans.

When every single panel or stamped part has rust, there's just no way. The title will find its way to another car.
