I pulled the lower dash off (my Ivory white 73 1.7L) to deal with the steering column recently and was surprised to find yellow paint - I believe this is an original unpainted car . . .

Also please note the red (primer?) under the driver fender in the door jamb. . .



I just read in another thread (excerpt below), however that an L96 car also had the yellow bottom dash . . . please enlighten me . . .

Anyone have a clue about what colors and why they chose those colors on the original dashes? The bottom of the dash of my L96D car is an odd yellow color.
