Shocks had to come out as they were half blocking the rear bolt hole
and also i'm fitting my coil overs this week so it's gonna be lowerered and a rock solid ride. :cool:
....and yes i have a dirty engine bay :rolleyes:
 
Coilovers fitted today, taken off my 1.1 Panda
Front

But while refitting the shocks i noticed something nasty!!!!
Look at the tip of the screw driver

after i cleared out the dirt and stones...you can see how far down my finger goes

this is how much crap i removed with just my fingers from these dirt trap areas behind the shocks :devil:
The inner wheel arch areas will be cleaned out with water soon :cool:

Front end lowered

rear end lowered

it's hard to tell from the pics but it's a lot lower and stiffer :eek: and it was only lowered off the axle stands so not had a chance to settle
then it was an embarrasing drive thru Leicester to the garage that sorted the tracking, camber etc etc
Ive just got to get a camber bolt kit now to bring the top of the front wheels/tyres in some more

That's a nice tasty looking double DIN ICE, but you'll need a cover to hide it from the thieving scrotes.
multi coloured screen, i have it orange...it matches the panda dash lights :cool:

I'm building a big wall round the front drive soon with iron railings and machine gun turrets...ooopps getting carried away there :p

If you fancy letting me buy the passenger wing panel let me know .. my replacement one looks so obvious as it's brighter than the rest of the car.

Where roughly are you located?
 
Thanks...And i'll be cleaning mine out now more often now i know it's there (y)

Can you cut some stiff foam to fit the space and slather the area in Waxoyl so it doesn't trap water and cause corrosion?

Im thinking the tough packing material but not polystyrene (too weak) or latex (absorbs water).

:idea: i was also thinking of something i could use to block this area off, very bad design, wot was Fiat thinking :rolleyes:
it has two bung holes on either side if you pop them out it doesnt even go to that section
My silver Panda is the same full to the top of road grit,
 
Vacuum the crud away and slather the area with waxoyl. If you fit a foam lid make sure it fits right to the bottom and slater that in waxoyl. Corrosion wont be far behind, if you end up with water trapped under the foam.

Manage to do it wire by wire
The dash was a fuse ... changed it
My problem now is that the radio does not save memory settings and i would like to make the radio work without putting the ignition on
The saving memory .... i saw on youtube that reversing the red wire with yellow solve the problem
Playing without ignition ... i still have to search
Unless somebody has a ideea :)
Thank you for your help !!
