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. |

My 1971/4 is white L80E and I remember when pulling the dash some 30 years ago it was painted in blue with a handwritten note "Enzianblau"on it. Enzian is a flower of the alps an can be used to make some high octane booze. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
Back then I figured that maybe the factory used the dash panels to judge the look of new colours? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/up.picr.de-24260-1609238383.1.jpg) |
