I dont see that this pad has been ground out. I think something was wiped on there to try to make the numbers look more readable.
The engine pad stamping looks just like similar V0306 stampings I have. I think its legit.
The transmission stamping looks fine also.
I have yet to see the rear axle tube stamping.

02D went into March. If you have a large enough database of cars you can see this and the dates on drivetrain components. This was not the norm.

I know of other cars built 02D that were built quite a bit after this one. That is not normal either.
I think I will just be quiet about revealing anymore than I already did.

I know Kurt has seen the POP and says thats okay too.
