    Tor Red vs. Hemi Orange

    Correct, I guess I should have added that info. The year code is the first year that formula was used and in the case of B5 they kept the same color code but changed the formula slightly hence the different year codes. Thanks for clarifying.

    Hemi Orange/Tor-Red is a darker orange, NOT red.

    Tor Red vs. Hemi Orange

    and yes, your best bet is to have it scanned and the computer picks the whatever formula is the best match whether it`s the correct factory one or a 1986 Yugo color.

    Tor Red vs. Hemi Orange

    V2 is technically the code, the E or other letter is the designation for the first year it was used. Hemi Orange is the same as Tor-Red, Vitamin C is the same as Go-Mango.

    Tor Red vs. Hemi Orange

    Code should be the same for both, what brand paint is it and what is the code they are using? -That will tell you if it`s the correct one although formulas have changed due to different type paints mixed with different toners.

    I`ve owned TWO foreign cars in my life, a POS Honda I got cheap and flipped it as soon as I bought it and a BMW I got from a relative to fix and sell for a profit.

    R & R 8 3/4 axle bearings with just hand tools, no press?

    Nothing "wrong" with them, I used in them my `69 Barracuda street/strip build but for street cars that see aggressive cornering I prefer the factory tapered style.

    R & R 8 3/4 axle bearings with just hand tools, no press?

    I used a cutoff wheel, chisel and hammer to cut the old ones off and cleaned up the bearing surfaces with a stone and 400 grit paper myself but decided not to risk damaging my $200+ Timken bearings and had the local machine shop press them on along with one missing wheel stud for $60.
