Hello boys and girls,

Whilst restoring my 1994 1000i Panda, I have noticed that the ol' girl could do with new suspension bushes, rear springs and the rear bump stops (n)

Anybody know where I can get my hands on this selection of rocking horse poop?
Or if there is much of a compatability with other fiat models, like the siecento, cinqicento, punto or uno (coil sprung all round)?

Much appreciate any help getting Lazarus back on the road where she should be!
 
Front stuff like lower arms, tie rod bushes and top mounts are still easy and relatively cheap to get via ebay or factors. Oddly the rear end is much harder, the rear radial arms (bushes integral - NLA seperate) aquamarine on here has shipped some from italy and they're currently on ebay I think £60 odd a shot. Compatibilty, Y10 for rear but not everything on the front, but that's no help as they're even rarer than Pandas.
 
Thanks FirstCar-Y10, VmanC and aquamarine,

Thanks for the swift reply, when I get the time I shall go to my local motor factor (what few remain in my local area) or try my luck at the local FIAT dealership (optomistic outlook required). meanwhile I shall be crawling over the local scrappy. I have a suspicion that the rear shocks and springs of a mk2 Punto may be a close match. I shall investigate when I can and post the results.
