Nearly there with the dash. Very useful having a copy of a Y10 workshop manual.



Only a couple of bits that are a pain. The cables that control the heating and vent for example. Very little space to work on them and need to remember were it all goes for puting it back together.



More access from the engine bay



Need to get all the last bits out as it is going into the welders next week and don't want to leave any interior that could get damaged.

I have decided to go for Pasadoble Red for the bodywork. This is the colour that is used on Fiat 500's and other new Fiats.

Okay that's the vent controls finally removed. The dash is nearly out but the wiring loom is holding on for dear life. The little italian that installed this must have had some very clever tools as there are some screws in places I simply cannot get to.

Thankfully I at least have the windscreen out so have a bit more access and visibility

Will try again tomorrow.

Is the Panda dash such a pain to get out? From what I remember of the 1982 mk1 that I had, there is not a lot to it.

Cheers

Dave

Looks like a great project, I looked around for a Y10 turbo a while back, but gave up as they're so rare!

There's not much to the panda loom, there is only one large hole in the bulkhead where the wires pass through, and most of the dash can be removed with one philips screwdriver!

Should have kept my mk1 panda then

My car has y10 turbo bumpers and exhaust so looks very similar but should hopefully be a bit more reliable.

This is the Pasadoble Red I am going for. Should look good on the Y10

The dash is out. What a pain that was. Now it is out I can sort out all the wiring for the speakers, amp, rev counter and other bits and bobs.



Couple of broken plastic clips to fix and the alcantara needs a good clean then should be good as new



Cheers

Dave

I take my hat off to you Dave, should look fantastic in that colour. Good luck!

Okay, the to do list.

Bodywork (welding and paint buy others thankfully )
Buy new wing mirrors
Buy new fuel pump (second hand one leaking)
Make fuel tank straps
Final fit of exhaust
Check all bolts and brake pipes
Fix leak in gearbox housing and inner driveshaft boot
Run new wiring for speakers etc
Refit carpet
Clean alcantara panels
Fit re-trimmed back seat
Fit new front seats
Re-fit dash and wire everything up
Re-fit roof lining

Pass MOT and enjoy......

This is looking great - good choice of colour too! Good luck!

That's all the interior out now ready to go to the welders hopefully later this week. Fingers crossed he doesn't find more than I already know about !!

Cheers

Dave

Nice and empty



Not much more than the fuel pump and a steering wheel



Transporter coming to collect it tomorrow morning :devil:

Cheers

Dave

She's off to the bodyshop

She even managed to get onto the flat bed herself

Not sounding too sweet yet but will fix that when she get back in four weeks and counting.

Will post some pics when I go down to the bodyshop.

Cheers

Dave

Just to spread the Y10 love around a bit, heres a pic of what absorbs a lot of my free time at the moment. A 1987 Fila.

Splendid work. Where are the nice red Fila seats???

I see you are in Dundee, will you have it finished for the Scottish Italian Car day in St Andrews in May? Would be good to have two y10s present.

Cheers

The rears are still red, but the fronts are long gone. I had been toying with an idea of removing the rest of the Fila stripes. Im not really a fan of special editions, and the car is such a bitsa it hardly matters anymore.

I'd love to bring it to St Andrews and it should be finished Id just be worried it would look a little :yuck: Il have to polish it a lot or hand out beer goggles.

If you bring strong enough goggles it might even look like Trevor's Y10



Good luck with pulling it all together.

is that the infamous 'yntegrale'?
I'm really missing mine now, If there's a chance of 2 Y10s in the metal together I might need to make a trip north in May, when's this meet then?
