I would like to make a replica of the panda rally car/kit car could need help and advice with the sourcing of the body kit used? Has anybody else attempted this? Anybody know where i am likely to source the body kit? I currently have a 1.2 dynamic but if i go ahead with the creation of the replica then i will transplant a fiat panda 100hp engine or if insurance isn't too expensive and can source one then i would love to transplant a fiat 500 abarth engine!

There are a few actual rally cars for sale at the moment in europe,

Blimey! Hello.

They are very cool. I remember them being reviewed in Autoitalia a couple of years ago. But 25k euros! Not great with the current exchange rate.

The replica. If your worried about insurance, I may not bother. It'll cost you a packet. Are you intending to stick the body kit on and tweak the suspension? Anything else?

Hello indeed!

160hp 1.4 and 6-speed sequential gearbox?

Sounds like my perfect daily driver

Yes i'm intending to fit a body kit, tweak suspension and fit alloys. Then i'll look into engine.

The Panda's look ace rally/track prepped

But this is more my cup of tea with around 200 BHP!
