So while I am trying to figure out why stuff does not seem to fit my car thought I would see if anyone can help me out with my door tag. Dog tag seems to be more like the 81-88 illustration in the Chilton Manual. Hope these are right hard to read my own writing.

Paint 85
Body 61R Standard 3 Door (I am assuming Hatch since that is what it has)

Radio 7 AM/FM Tape (from another post)
Axle Ratio B 2.47:1 Conventional
Transmission W C-4
Front Springs MM
Rear Springs NN

Exterior is orange. I think it is called tangerine. Interior is chamois. Has cruise, power locks, A/C, TRX, rear wiper, rear defroster, cobra on hood, "cobra" on sides, remote hatch release.
