The current fleet. Took me 10 months to get around to taking the pic, and when the new Selecta comes will need to be re-taken. I don't know where though because the Drive isn't big enough

must be hard to get, never seen them around. Steering wheel is a standard Lancia Y10 wheel which, as usual with Y10 bits, fits straight on, car's showing 120 odd thousand now but it got a serious rebuild and rustproofing at about 40k when my father in law got it and has been looked after since. Unlucky with the transit, looking for some 4x4 bullbars next????That's because luckily mine are the origional grille with spots that Fiat done. Really hard to get and I'm after another for the other White Selecta were getting so that they're identicle.
I was p'eed of more about the grille than the bumper when I went into the back of a transit van
Where did you get your steering wheel from? What mileage has she done because she looks very nice and tidy

Don't tempt me. I would, but then I'd be to tempted to use them and nudge people out of the way, hehe.
Would also ruin the Plan.

My new toy bought on ebay for a princely sum of £230. Not bad me thinks for a completely original sisley with exception of two tyres. 39000 miles from new full service history (engine sweet as). Bit of cosmetic tin work and usual binding brakes to sort should be back on the road in the next month or so weather depending. Will post a pic of the results.

Cheers Was listed on ebay on 10/06/08 Item number 130229889527. Located in Hexham in Northumberland which is a bonus as is only 20 miles away from me. 100 squid starting bid with no reserve had to be worth a shot so on went a bid of 300 squid didnt think I'd get it especially when he posted that it had 84 watchers.

Well I'm glad you got it, and arn't one of these rally nuts
.Good to have you on the Forum, in another one of your posts you seem to know your stuff, so hope to zap you of some usefull info from time to time.
Good god!! Well done!
That is a bargain and a half. I payed £240 for my latest 4x4 project And that needs a lot of work.
Happy pandering anyway!!

Cheers, no no not a rally nut. Bloody mindless destruction of a perfectly good car in my opinion . I will use Louise off road but it will be carefully done and she will be looked after. (Just been christened louise as i found a key ring under the seat with louise on it so it seemed fitting)
Bought her A) Because I've always wanted another panda since the sad death of my last one and B) I go clay pigeon shooting around where I live and the peugeot I foolishly bought is a bit fat and low slung and has been bottomed out numerous times on the farm tracks I have to negotiate to get to the shoots and with the increasing fuel prices at the moment the panda seemed the logical choice. Also has much more character than the lardy 406

What happened to your last Panda out of interest?
Combination of the the dreaded tin worm and the gearbox went into meltdown just before it needed mot'ing. couldn't afford to sort it as I was at college and money was limited. She was a g reg that was in my family all its life grandad bought it new then it went to dad who used it for towing a trailer to deliver firewood for the best part of 4 years. This is how hard a panda can be, the trailer will have on many occasions wieghed in excess of 1000 kg (the car only wieghs 800kg) travelling over rough terrain for the best part of 4 years nothing needed replacing other than the usual consumables associated with normal use, then I had her for a year and a half before gearbox gave up the ghost at 157,000
Not strictly speaking a Panda but thought I would show you my Y10 work in progress. Engine bay all painted waiting for the 1242 mpi
Well ages ago I promised to show pictures of the sound system layout in my car. I have prettied it up a little since I last showed it off on here, so let me know what you think! The top is colour coded, and the tool storage has proved really convienient. I hope the itallian flag fiat badge goes down well too! It is also lit from behind so looks quite effective at night!
The second picture is of my other panda being worked on, up in swansea. That car is getting me worried, lots to do, not enough time...

I wouldn't worry. She's in a dry garage which is a big bonus!
And I love the set-up in the back of the 4x4. Wouldn't suit me because I occasionally have to put the rear seat down (I assume it's fitted to the car and can't come out?).

I am very glad of the dry (slightly leaky!) garage. but only have it for 2 more months
Then its the car getting evicted The speaker set-up is removable too. It has been mounted onto the normal shelf mounts, but it is a little fiddly taking it out. Mainly because its all so heavy lol
Sound quality is fantastic though, and sufficiently loud to cope with the longlife exhaust too!Si
Here's mine. Got for a bargain price considering the condition - yes it's as good as the pics suggest! Sadly I've had to replace most of the electrics to find that the ignition module I first replaced was faulty - grrr!!!! At 114800 miles and going strong.....

It certainly does look nice and neat

Hi,
It's been a while! Well, Nurburgring with old school GSi 3000s, car prep for Europe with the 1.3 'Special' Maestro, wife and house work...
I've had time to finally 'complete' Lotty. One of several 4x4's owned but this we love. She was rolled at some point (Passenger side not 180)... I think she is named in the thread for how many Pandas...
I've replaced most bits! In fact almost everything! brakes... gearbox... clutch... doors... boot... bonnet... front/rear lights... bumpers... side plastics... every cable you can think of and still have front/rear bars with 2 x Ring Rally Giants to fit - oh yeah + the MOT... The good thing is she has never been welded! and has Fiat histoy to 57 and she's done 65! I think that last 8 where very hard on her
Anyway, i'll post a few more pics once she's MOT'd (wheel centres + bars etc)
PS. If there are any 4x4 events/Panda meetings you guys go to i'd love to come along
