Hi everyone. I just bought a light blue 1988 1000cl Panda from a neighbour who has had it sitting up off the ground but uncovered for two years. It has been mot'd in 2014 and not driven since apparently. To the untrained eye the bodywork looks in very good condition and it has 61000 on the clock. It doesn't start...yet. I paid £300. I know next to nothing about cars. I bought her to cut down on fuel on my 20 mile commute in a 2001 LR TD5 and to do smaller deliveries from my market garden into Belfast. I love the boxy shape and the Fiat link with agricultural vehicles. Am I mad or could I learn the skills to do at least some of the work that will need done? It doesn't have to be an immaculate restoration but I would like to look after it and keep the integrity of the original design. Love this forum and reading about the projects some of you have been involved in. Any comments or suggestions on where to start would be very welcome.
