Greetings from Thailand

[MickDaThai]

Hi all. My name is Mick. New to this forum. Not sure if I am posting in the right area??, I am from Adelaide but live in central Thailand now. Recently I bought a ZD Fairlane here off a Monk ( of all people ). I want to rebuild it in the near future.
I am trying to track down info on vin numbers. The vin is stamped on the drivers side shock tower MWZD54ELY×××××. There is no other tags or plates on the car. In Thailand if a motor is changed all plates are removed. I know "M" is export vehicle but just trying to work out the rest of the numbers/ letters.
I have found out some were made in Aust then exported to South Africa for assembly. I am thinking this ZD is one of them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Chon Gao ( cheers )
