Re: 1982 1.5 CL Auto
Cheers mate,I do like a bit of detail. I've built a full on show car before and I want similar detail but on a useable car, so stonechip and top coat everywhere underneath and no expensive respray. I'm not fussy about dirty nuts and bolts on my daily but it is nice knowing that when I get to play with my toy I could probably do it withut gloves and stay clean .scrappy1382 wrote:fantastic work fella, so much attention to detail. puts my rolling resto to shame lol, saying that, im not too fused about dirty nuts and bolts
The other bonus is that by the time I've finished I will have been over most of the car so she shouldn't have any major surprises.

I didn't realise how little I've done until I saw the date on that post /\
Finally got the arches and rear valance filled and painted.

She's not coming on too bad, it's been just under three years, only the tailgate to sort and she's rust free. Interior just needs a professional shampoo, audio fitting and the chrome bits fitted. Still might change the wheels yet.
And so far it's cost me less than most people pay for a set of wheels and tyres.

Re: 1982 1.5 CL Auto
Managed to get another ten minutes out there today. Got the drivers side arch spat on. Took a little finessing as the spats have three 'legs'
And for some reason the replacement arch sections only come with two holes and I never really noticed.

Re: 1982 1.5 CL Auto
Gave it little tickle with the dremel and I've also used double sided tape (to help hold it on and to keep water out)
Managed to salvage the original sleeves (pictures are already on here somewhere)
