I'd be tempted to get the chassis number sorted out before you paint. No point finishing the resto and finding you can't register it.
Where is the number in your picture stamped ?
As mentioned by others the chassis number appears in different locations depending on the year, where assembled etc.
Mine, which was assembled in Australia, is on the top of the passenger side dumb iron close to where the bumper mounts.
The number stamped doesn't match the Land Rover numbering system.

The 'brake loose' stamped on the chassis is very odd. Painted on might be a roadworthy comment but stamped ?
