Hey guys, check this out.
Ive found a lot of writing on the firewalls of many cars. Havent come across this before, maybe some of you know more about it.
The firewall writing Ive found in the past has always been under the black paint, and once the paint is removed, the marking leaves a clean, more shiny impression on the metal. Makes sense.
This one I found today is different. Its yellow, and certainly appears to be on top of the black. Doesnt make sense to have a marking denoting color (TUR meaning Azure) since the car is already in color by the time the firewall is painted. And after I removed the paint from the firewall, there was no impression left of the marking on the clean metal. The other markings found were "as usual".
Theres probably an obvious reason for this, its just that I havent come across this and thought it was interesting.

Also found P B on the pass side of the firewall, which I personally havent found before on that side. I remember reading in the past that they only did this at one of the plants, dont remember which. This is a fairly late NOR car, btw.
