Panda (Classic) Never Say No To Panda (Conservation Project)

Welcome.

Safely transported your "1988 silver 4x4" (see earlier thread) home with aquamarine 's help today.



Thanks to AndyPanda4x4 for great help, encouragement and generosity. - We were as polite as we could be to your neighbours but I'm not sure if the looks on their faces said:
"Thank goodness that's not staying on his path."
"Are they nicking that?"
or
"I just wish it would stop raining, so that Andy's Pandas rusted a little less quickly."



Fun operation making new connections. Saving a worthy car (hopefully) and having a laugh along the way.

Successful recovery then guys? Don't worry too much about the neighbours they are down there on the realms of Audi and Volvo ownership. Trailer looks very safe and is that the kangoo 4x4 at the helm?

Thanks aquamarine and andyholli for the 'escort service'. Looking forward to seeing this little chappy again.

This one has a front bumper to match your rear one!

Pedestrian friendly panda edition

yeah....

would not mind the saw blade going up the centre of the car...

"Ball Collector" and "Pony Arena" Editions.. - Would Giugiaro turn in his grave or be proud of their adaptability?

-Answer 'B', I reckon.

Earlier I accidentally reversed the Snatch into the 'Pony Edition''s rear bar.. Happily both are very solid.

Massive crop of vitally useful bits harvested from the Panda Farm today. - Thank you aquamarine.

Is there nothing that man doesn't have?

Excellent. Has the project begun?

Only the - 'collecting bits together and wondering what order to tackle it all in' - stage, at the moment. But might do some 'taking bits off' later today..

Lovely day working on Sean's Panda - but I've got a bad case of tailgate trim envy:



Flat, unscratched trim panel in a 4x4... What gives?

Agree, makes you wonder what was it used for. ( yes we know that )

I see that Holiday - leave it alone !!

V62 filled in and ready to go for our nameless Panda - fingers crossed

Managed a few hours today. Welded up some holes in the rear panel and fitted a rear bumper for the first time in a few years.



Wired up the number plate lights - difficult soldering the black corroded wiring as Andy's found too but all the lamps now work..

Found that the rear left lense mounts are broken though, - has anyone got a spare please?

Excellent work Andy :thumbup:

Looks loads better that that large piece of farm on the back.

Yep, makes a big difference from the 'bar' that was there before !

Excellent work - looks much smarter. Will have a root through for another lense
