Sneak preview of the Phoenix Panda:


And the status at the engineroom , it's works when turning the key. Only the airhorn, running daylights & cruise control needs to be connected. That means a lot of wiring and work.......


Slowly and steadily the works goes on, only it's cold outside........

Finally the airhorn is connected, sorry for the blurry pic's. It's made with an Iphone 3.




And the runningdaylights are working properly as it should be by dutch law:


And when the daylight is on, the runningdaylights are out:


The the interiorlight:


And the enigineroom, which have a lot of wires which are not connected. The lpg-installation and cruise control needs to be installed. Also a second horn, which will be at last.


Now just do some little things and this Panda can drive again. First connect the cruise control, than go to the painter, than installing the lpg-installation and than an complete dinitrol(anti-rust)treatment.

Lets today the day that mine green Panda is offical reborn like a Phoenix. The original key of the crashed Panda:


Now it works on the reborn Panda :spin: . There's still a lot of work to be done, but the Panda rides again. I really missed the torque of these multipoint FIRE-engine. You hit the accelator and the Panda goes like the afterburner is turned on :devil: .

The Panda runs on lpg now . Now only build in de elec. windows, an antirust(dinitrol)treatment & than little essential looks (like wide strips on the sides, roofrails on the roof and LM-rims).

Temp.meter today also connected in the green Panda, it works beautifully. A multipoint engine with working heatinglight and meter.

Testing a Panda with a trolly .

Work at the Panda is getting there. I have wassed the car, but it can't be waxxed, otherwise the glue won't attach to the car. Needs some protection of the hobby version on the sides.


The first 10 years you had to lower the windows by hand, now a motor will do that for you after pressing a bottum :


Offcourse the right side also with a motor:


And a big BOEM-box in the back of the car:

Panda has new shockabsorbers, wishbones and 4 axlecovers. Only need to adjust the steering and let the km's come.
Soon connect the elec.windows and put the correct frontseats in. Than need to find some time to give the car a dinitroltreatment. After this finally the black rims with the right tires on the car.

After second fueling of lpg, 13.8km/l, looks very good. Some fine adjustments and the Panda is almost fully reborn.

It took some time, but the running daylights are connected:

Two Panda's with running daylights:


The 'Young' interior in the selecta, which looks better than the 'hobby' interior:


I don't understand why the carpet is worn off after 18 years and only 80.000km. Mine carpet is 11 years with 160.000km old, which looks like new. This one is now in the selecta.

With a big BOEMbox in the trunk, than is this the way to move stuff:


What I needed to move:


Driving with it, went ok. I guess the fuelconsumpting is a bit higher than Fiat promise :devil: .

Wow

You needed a trailer to move your Lego?

I'll need a truck to move my trainset

This are the leftovers of mine collection, which are in the way to expand mine collection . If I need to move mine whole collection in one time, I need the Antonov 225 .

And this is mine idea, a monitor for the camera at the back for the back Panda selecta. When you put the gearbox in the R, the monitor will go on and you can see what's happing at the back of the car.


But it brings a lot of work to adjust that it will fit and the wiring :bang: . I wanted the radio to let see what the camera sees, but the radio can't handle the camera .

And what is this ?

If you people get sick of this, let me know.

Nothing to see:


And when the gearboxstick is put in the 'R':


Pic's ain't very sharp, but it gives you an idea what I've made.

Don't be silly...! I find your posts -- and mods -- utterly inspirational; and I'm always wondering what you're going to do next.... :worship:

Finally we getting there. The selecta is now almost ready for use:


Did someone asked to me, if I loved Pandabear? I replied, it fits with the car. Nothing more, nothing less :


Which selecta has those backwheelcovers inside?


A Younginterior with a lot of luxery:


Spot the camera in the bumper. Or do you just like my ass ?


A Panda can be small, but you have to be deaf not to hear me:


And you can't see it:


Together with the green brother:


When you look closely, you will see that the green one is higher at his backwheels than the black one. Very strange, the green one has a 70litre LPGtank in the back:
