I may want to call first dibs on the front struts/coils if they are in good nick

possibly the infocentre unit too......

Welll just back from another MoT for the Celeb, everything was fine and wouldhave passed apart from one small issue, BOTH front springs have bloody snapped. :angry: In exactly the same place too (within a cm of each other it appears) I assume that this is a usual failure and they are known for it? A...

Yep gotta recommend car and classic, great site for finding interesting cars, had a few from there over the years. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/list/102/480/ Heres the 480's on there. In fact my car I brought last week is still there as recently sold! Paid what I thought was slightly over the odds...

Right. Some pics of my Celeb finally

As for comments, no avatar pics and I dont seem to have an 'Edit post' button at mo. (otherwise this would be an edit added to post above)

Ha this feels more familiar to me, much more like the other forums I frequent!

Thumbs up here

Would love to but I cant post pics yet.

SG202696 which can be accessed thru my flickr link in my 'hello' thread would be perfect. Any chance someone could post it here for me? Thanks

Only been in there a day or so, and need to slit plastic bag up properly and set them, but not been any condensation on rear side windows since put in there! Its only to dry it out so i can fix seal, lamps are well sealed with bathroom silicone but theres def a split in the tailgate seal at the top,...

Right got to take some pics this morning. Added to the Flickr set on Grafi's ohsohelpful post above. Yes I know its absolutely filthy too, but with the slush and salt/grit knee deep on the roads round here couldnt be helped. The very last pic is my current solution to the rear sealing :D damp what d...

Cheers Grafi Those are the ad pics that led me to it. They show the celeb alloys, but I didnt have them in the end, as mentioned earlier. Had Atlas's on and TBh I prefer how they look. The 6 spokers may have been 'correct' for a celeb but god they look gash IMO. Keeping my eye out for something inte...

Hmmm. Discovered this morning that iceblue fresh snow makes the otherwise lovely Satin White paint look like bloody magnolia!!

Not its best look so may wait for the snow to bugger off before trying any arty shots

Its ok, I've owned lots of Alfa's and Fiats over the years - I have no fear now

Reputations of (un)reliability and quirkyness - Pah! That i'm used to working around..

Besides, mine will obviously be ok
