So Paula could hardly say no to you getting another car as she'd given you the heads up then

Nice one

Did the owners happen to let you get away with a steal, or did they know what she was worth?

no she couldnt say much when she came home and found it on the garden and I did buy her the skydome a couple of months ago
he knew what it was worth but I think I got it for a fair price although my bank account took a hit

ok had a couple of hours on the car today removed the roof rack and made a start on cleaning. its looking good the only real problems apart from the wing damage is where the blue cover was put over it the ropes have rubbed on the tailgate and above the drivers door right down to the primer it needs a good t cut but for now I just gave it a quick polish and was happy with the results. I en-listed some slave labour to vac it and gave it a jet wash under the arches and bonnet no horrors found yet
the guy I got it from came round with all the history which is a bonus it even included a sales brochure from when his dad got it. I cannot belive how good the doors are so i have posted a couple of pics for dragon man to drool over

had a look at the inside today the carpet was black around where the seat runners are I think it was spray grease it didnt want to come off with the valeting machine so we had to resort to more drastic measures! it came up well though, gave the seats a good clean too

 

[pandamonius_maximus]

Plenty of insulation under the carpet for the winter I see Also what's the switch thing next to the gear lever? Oil slick? :devil:

Anyway, the carpet looks in good condition, I feel lazy now though; I've never lifted the carpet out completely for a clean on either of the mk1's (except the Marbellas rubber matting which was ugly :yuck and removed that permanently

It's these cryptic thread titles ...or more like surfing the forum when far too tired. One for the blooper reel anyway

I'll just cower in the corner for a few days and read instead

not get another panda how many times have I said that I said it back in 2004 when I sold the sisley to Allen F along with all my spares he filled a lorry with parts and the sisley was full to the roof I told him then I had finished with panda's but its like an addiction I just cannot say no I must save them from the jaws of the evil crusher thats why my yard is covered with them languishing in silent decay
