Posts: 90 Thanks: 2 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Chris's 1994 Panda Colour Resto Mod well once again i've been busy (making most of my time off) first thing was to combat the wheather! gazebo time! ![]() then got stuck in attacking any rust with a wire wheel , then lightly sanded everything, giving me the perfect prep for the underseal. ![]() ![]() ![]() coverage is pretty good as im brushing it on but becasue im fussy and dont like the look of the brush strokes in then going over it all with a sponge and dabbing it so i get a uniform finish ,ill probably put another layer on while everythings out.

Posts: 1,380 Thanks: 71 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Chris's 1994 Panda Colour Resto Mod Hi Chris, I've a question I've been wanting to ask another Panda Colour owner. On my set of keys for my colour, I've got one black key and one blue key. I've always wondered why the blue one, as all my other pandas have just black keys? It wasn't until I was talking to another forum member about it and they suggested it might be because it is a Colour edition? Sort of makes sense as they have the coloured switches and gauges etc. basically what I'm asking in a long winded way are what colour are the keys for your, err Colour??

Posts: 90 Thanks: 2 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Chris's 1994 Panda Colour Resto Mod got a few little things done got the fuel tank back out as i wanted to seal up the gaps between the corrugated floor and flat cross beams, also started bunging up the holes in the chassis with tigersealed grommets (all voids have a healthy dose of waxoyl) ![]() ![]() ![]() also managed to drop off the exhaust manifold and cat off. ![]() tommorows jobs are to drop some parts off to be sand blasted , get the sill welded now my sheet metal has finally arrived , may even try and drop the engine out but seeing as ive lent my hoist to a mate i may give it a miss for now .
