(those waiting for pics to be emailed, i will get some of it clean and on tarmac soon)

It's a belter! Great to see it in its natural habitat.

Very nice pics

Very nice . How does it go with a 1242? I assume it accelerates well but revs out at higher speeds!

Did you keep the EFI?

Les

glad you like.
i goes GREAT !!
or did go great, cant drive it now due to no insurance, as its for sale.
but it really does run well.

i dunno what EFI stands for, but its still carbed if thats what you mean.
hehe

aran.:yum:

EFI = electronic fuel injection. Did you use the original Panda 4x4 carb?

I intend to do this conversion to my Torino (Panda 4x4 based kit car). I'll probably keep the fuel injection as it should improve fuel economy.

Nice one! those pics look fantastic and its shooting up in price too. looking promising. One question though, the sump gaurd, does it affect the engine temperature? ive been told it causes over heating in some cases but i want to do it to mine. It would just finish off my car to perfection !

To the metal merchants! :slayer:

Little bird just told me you've gotten hold of a 100HP panda engine Aran... no wonder you could let go of your white panda...

haha,
its actually the 1242cc 16V mk1 punto sporting
(86bhp)
but i its going to have
a good easy flowing exhaust
K+N cone
and i just sent the flywheel off for lightening. :slayer:
so we will see.
so my panda colour may end up being a little more than meets the eye.

but theres LOTS !! of work to do before ti get from shed to engine bay.!

hows your punto going tony ??
and which little bird ! ?

Punto's fine, could do with a reshell but other than that solid... I'm not driving it at the moment though as I have no insurance on it, i've swapped that over to the Tipo (why are they insurance group 10?). I did try to sell the tipo the other day but no-one thought it was worth £300 . hey ho looks like a 99p start... but i am definately swapping the batteries over.
