Panda (Classic) The Camel Panda!

[row42]

Hi,

My name is Rowan and i am the new owner of Crashtest33's Camel Trophy Panda 4x4.

I have never owned a panda but a panda 4x4 has always been my dream car.
I am new to Pandas and have not got much knowledge of mechanics so its going to be a steep learning curve.

Ill keep this thread updated as i get the panda back up to its former glory, it seems the previous owners haven't looked after it as much as they could have and it seems to have been stored outside for a long time.

Ive already ordered new parts like some oil seals as a lot of oil has leaked from the rear hub.

Congratulations on getting it.
Are you by any chance local to Chesterfield / Alfreton where it was advertised from, as I am in Chesterfield

Welcome to the Forums

I am Bristol based.

The Camel is amazing, its been transformed with such attention to detail.

It does need a little TLC tho which i look forward to giving it.

 

[FDNY21]

Bristol? Only half an hour down the road from me. Might have to take a trip and see it all one day in my Panda

 

[Crashtest33]

Hey dude! Enjoy!
Could really do with a light sand in the footwells, a lick of Layland 'Sandglow 361' and some floor mats!
The drivers door and leading edge of the bonnet seem to have suffered a lot.

 

[Crashtest33]

Oh btw, those crappy bucket seats were not installed by me! I had smart Seicento sporting seats with the embroidered Camel Trophy logo in the head rests.
I hope they haven't molested the seat crossrails installing them!

 

[Crashtest33]

Looks like those RB1 tyres have had it too.
The other chaps on here may agree with me saying don't get them again.
Use an original size tyre on those rims. You'll get much more road grip, life and arch/filler pipe clearance.

Congratulations for this beatiful Panda !!

I would like to know all about "her" modifies. :devil:

Engine, lift, wheels, and especially the transmission improvements.
In Italy we have some factories that produce these kits.

Welcome!

I know it's short notice and a fair trek, but not too late to come along to this:

It'd be a great introduction to all the lovely Panda people, but also to what these little cars can do!
