Standard Celebration 1.0

[chrisuk2009]

Bought for £700 last May @ 84000 miles looking like this:

Now has Si dials, GX speakers and will soon have the arch trims off a GX.

Still looking the same 9 months on, filthy today mind you.

there's a rust patch on the front wing however that's been getting worse, there's a possibility the last owner of the car parking it against a wall.

It's recently started attacking the rear arch.

Armed with some tiger seal and masking tape I plan to attach the back ones on soon and then the front (when I can be arsed to swap the front wing)

Here is a test fit

Thanks for looking, hope to have it properly cleaned and polished after the tiger seal has been applied (when I find a sealant gun)

looks a good start. I'd treat that rust before tiger sealing those arches on

You didn't just cover that rust up...did you?

Nope haha, it's not had any tiger seal applied yet Just taped to see how it would look.

Things done today, put new panel on.

Millions of rusted nuts, complete ballache to do.

It's just started raining, so the plan is finish it up tomorrow:

1) Get the allignment just right (there's a crease in the corner I'm going to have a look at)
2)Fix the liner up.
3)Plug the indicator back in lol
4) Sort out the headlamp wobble (think it's literally a screw that needs putting back in
5) Get some touch up paint


Eventually get it washed.

I think the panel colour match is nearly spot on, barely noticeable.

Found the reason behind the wobbly headlamp.

Job jobbed without drilling :

New wing to be picked up Tuesday as the one I put on has a huge crease in it.

Also, this arrived today. £4 off ebay :
