Panda Panda 100HP project (cooperman style!)

[cooperman]

Before the big show tomorrow a couple of things have been done this evening!!
New rear shocks fitted and full track done, the front was towing out but now it is perfect and the rears were bang on!
Oh and of course she has been fully polished!! fingers crossed for no rain tomorrow!!

Just got back from a great day at Brooklands! Was really good to meet some of the panda gang and put faces to names! A few pics below:
The Panda gang (we just needed to move the white fiat!)


Demi's lil panda!

I loved this Chinq!

My Mates Lancia Thema Ferrari 8:32 with Ferrari 348 alloys!

Coop, that white Fiat...yeah. I had a chat with the owner. It went like this:
"Hi"
"hi"
"Would you mind moving your car so...."
"No mate!"
"...so we could, oh?! No, no just swapping place with mine so..."
"No!"
"... so we could have 3 blue pandas together."
"Mate, I said NO!"
"Fair enough...*cough*w..nker*cough*"
"What?"
"Nothing. *cough*a...hole*cough*"

What a douche... he sat in his car for 3-4 hours while his missus KNITTED something pink!

 

[Demi]

And that Grey Panda next to Rat Chinq is that Turbo'ed one. With big exhaust and a blow of valve! It sounded almost as good as my missus when ...

Basically I want one !!! :devil:

Was meant to do this Friday ready for Brooklands but the badge didn't come in time, anyway my original Fiat front badge had a stone chip and crack in it so bought a replacement.
I did think about going down the Abarth route but after abit of thought I do really like the blue as it matches the car!
Was easy to fit I just removed the 4 bolts on the top of the bumper and I manager to get a socket into the gap to remove the badges securing nut.
A simple and easy mod!
Old cracked badges:

Badge removed:

Fitment on the back of badge:

Nice new badge!

That looks spot on coop. Would look superb with the airbox done too

Looking good! I've been trying to find some Marvel stickers to do mine but they are proving slightly elusive!

 

[Gavin1980]

How about a set of these?

Cheers for the pic Gav, not sure if they are for me I like the white original items think they break up the blue and work well colour wise with the headlights and the wheels.
I think the tinted ones go well if you have darker then standard wheels.
I have got a Gas Monkey garage air freshener to go in tomorrow got it direct from the guys in Texas!!

 

[Gavin1980]

Gas monkey?

 

[cooperman]

Its MOT time tomorrow, so to save me getting any hassle I changed my old damaged rear wiper and arm. Its a really easy job which are the ones I like!
If I get no issues will order the LHD rear light cluster!
Wiper:

Bolt that secures arm to motor:

Smooth look! (well apart for them motor arm sticking out!!)

I noticed mine has split in the same place. How much was it all to replace? I'm in two minds if I should remove it completely?

Mine was like that when i bought the car. I just replaced the wiper rubber instead of the whole arm. I think it's only a couple quid for the blade material and it was very easy to do... Just a thought.

Cheers, Jon.

Was a £9 eBay special!! Removing would look sweet unit it rains!

When u buy rear wiper on eBay. I would STRONGLY recommend getting a genuine fiat wiper, as there are a lot of replicas and (speaking from experience) they made of cheaper plastic and the blade doesnt hug the screen very well. Brand new one was leaving large areas untouched when wiping. 2 weeks later I've ordered another one - a genuine rear wiper. Happy now
