Welcome to the site. What do you need to know? If you use the search tool you'll find that we have covered just about every subject.

If you have a specific question and you can post a photograph of the system in question we can be more helpful.

We'd love to see pictures of the car.

Your car's original color was code 10 BEIGE.

Charles, I've added what you gave use to our pre-existing Registry History for 1158. I think there are still some gaps that you can fill in.
