Love it!

I found color reference on http://www.toyotareference.com/tercel/1983-1988 I wonder if "light yellow" is the factory name for the color? Marketing lessons learned? New Toyota colors have funky/appropriate names.

I also wondered about under the hood paint colors. My gold Tercel is beige in the engine compartment, my silver tercel is grey, and my blue car is blue, but a slightly different blue compared to the rest of the car. Curious about production numbers too... I wonder if Bryan Thompson has any connections in the toyota archives.

My guess is that different colours require different undercoats to be able to achieve the proper final colour. It would make sense to me that they painted the whole car a base colour then just painted the outside to finish.
