Hi everyone, I'm from Russia, and I have a Left Hand Drive mmc celeste 1600 ST in terrible condition. I want to restore it, but I have a few questions.
1. Is it possible to determine the year of the machine. The documents listed in 1980, but I would like to make sure. Is it possible to determine the chassis number A73-6108174
2. I understand that after 1977 was to change the design, and instead of round headlights and chrome bumpers were put square headlights and protruding bumper.
3. On my cars defined non-original bumpers, headlights, grille and partially cut front panel (frame mounting the radiator) so I would be grateful for assistance in purchasing these parts, I'm afraid shipping would be expensive

but cannot find information anywhere on the machine, parts catalogs, brochures, sales, repair guide, if you have it or you know where it is, please let me know
I am writing through a translator

I purchased parts catalog pages and photographed it, you can download it from this link

or

I also logged on http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/arrowgroup/
found a link to a brochure on mmc celeste but they are too small

If you have a camera, please take some pictures of your Celeste and upload them here.

If you check eBay and search for "Plymouth Arrow" you can find repair guides, owner's manuals, and brochures, but it's all in English and deals with the American version of the Celeste.

If your Celeste is a 1980, then it will have a rear window with large glass like this one:

If it is a 1975-1978 it will have a rear window with smaller glass like mine:

You should be able to read the brochures if you click on "Large".

Thank you for attention to the rear doors are not paid, I thought the only difference in the headlamps and bumpers. A man from Finland said that in Europe it depended on the country, in Finland only sold with round headlights and chrome bumpers.
is my back door, she resembles a model before 1977

I also photographed the label on the safety belt can not understand - a 19 week in 1975 or more.

I can not find a large photo on the website with the brochures, if you will tell as I will be very grateful

there are a few hatch lancers on there and a few parts pop up, just watch out for the tyre kickers
