dont worry its in safe hands its ages since I had a mint panda juppy and sally the sisley where good mainly because I only used them for shows my silver 4x4(which still does not have a name) is really tidy but has been my daily driver for the last 7 years so its hard to keep it mint. the red one(which Allen Fletcher has called king tut due to the reg) wont be doing much except shows so I can go to town on it and make it spot on

Not very I'd guess! There is a black & white Panda, a pink Panda, and Barbara's Panda well ahead of it. Probably several others - Barbara's is definitely ahead unless the lock-up is warm enough to sleep in........

Ha, Gavin knows me too well .

Off the back of selling the white 4x4 I now two customer resto's too!

Don't worry Gavin yours will be finished before I start them

So the answer to your question Urchin is, it's quite a long way up but it is a very long list .

had a couple of hours on it today dug out the spare 4x4 wheels from my parents attic and fitted them so I can get the original one blasted and painted. had a look at the engine itwas low on antifreeze so I drained, flushed and refilled the system it was well overdue. also hada look at the rough running the vac unit was split causing the mixture to be out so with a new one fitted I decided to set the mixture only to find the carb still had its mixture blanking plug in place so im guessing no one has adjusted it since it left the factory!
had half an hour on the paintworkits not coming up too bad I could do with a good day on it but when I have a free day it rains

King Tut is looking very very tidy...

 

[VmanC]

Looking very good Certainly looks like one of the most unmolested 4x4's out there.

 

[urchin]

its not looking too good today it looks abandoned the two wheels I fitted on the n/s have gone flat

changed the oil yesterday and tried to set up the carb but the mixture screw makes no difference even if you take it right out! so ill try and take the carb off today to strip and clean it. can you still get rebuild kits for them?

 

[Dragon Man]
