Yes andyholli, I have always thought about this, and I've been on the very same website and it says at the bottom "Our portals are currently available for Land Rover, Merc G and Jeep models. Other vehicles will be available soon"..........maybe they are working on the Panda variant!!


Whenever I see a Unimog I immediately have to bore the person I am with, with portal axles speak, they are the ultimate off road beast!!


That Merc G-wagon 6x6 they had on Top Gear had portaled axles and they didn't even mention them, I was jumping up and down at the TV.........."Tell me about the axles god damn Hamster!!!!"

Maybe contact them with a view to using your 4x4 as a prototype

Yes this is a fantastic idea indeed, I was aware of such gizmos but actually never thought of implementing then into the Panda, maybe I should do as David Dawson says and get in contact with them...

Loving the 131 wheels Andy :yum:. An imaginative choice, have you got any pics of the whole car with those wheels on?

Thanks Kris, not as yet - I have only tried one on to see how much modificating I need to do to the body before I can run with them. I will get plenty of pics with them on when it's all done

Well thanks to Alixcompo for the advise I have done gone ordered myself some Aquasteel to sort my brown bits out, and a huge vat of filler in order to sort the bits that used to be silver, then brown, but are now nowhere to be seen.

A delivery today from Michael 4WDPandamonium of the rear quarter '4x4' stickers has also made me very happy! So as soon as that huge dent on the back is fixed they will be going on

Nato green as a base for CAMOPANDA :slayer:

NATO green is good. Keep the faith

There's a huge range of authentic military colours Andy.

This is where I bought my Snatch satin Sand -

To be honest, Hadrian already has military aspects to him. All the bottom bits, sump guard, bull bar, axle etc. are all painted in black tank paint, and I was going to do an urban camo job on him but am still unsure about it

I'll just leave this here:

Hmmmm, very.....dark

..edit: cool, the link works when I quote you

I can make out a bull bar and rear lamp guards, everything in between is invisible.

Is this any better guys?



I like it but I'd prefer it in the greyscale urban camo

just no, behave you lot of you!

I'm seeing battleship / dazzle camouflage Andy.

Principal colour is grey, which seems appropriate, but with a fashionable twist. And the aquatic possibilities once the snorkel is up..
