Introduction
Hey! thought i would start a progress thread on my Panda i bought two weeks ago
Few weeks ago i was looking for a car and very nearly bought a 1980's Nissan Micra, but the sale didn't happen as the guy couldn't get the V5.
So i went back on ebay and found a 04 Green Panda in leeds being broken because the power steering didn't work, so i gave him a call and offered £850 and he accepted so the next day i was 300miles from home in my panda!
Then drove 3miles down the road and broke down so got dad under the bonnet and after playing with the loom we found if the loom was held towards the front the car worked (enough). So tied the loom with a hair-band we found in the car and drove 300miles home:yum:
Gave the car a service and a thermostat as it was running cold and the car worked great, went to change the oil peeled back some of the flakey paint on the sump and it turned into a sieve! So replaced that and now the car is running perfect!
Enough of the boring stuff heres some pics!:slayer:
