Hello.
So my green panda 4x4 climbing from circa 2004 had this little rust-hole under the door, so I bought a welder, some sheet metal, and started cleaning... and the hole got bigger and bigger, and inside the hole the front-to-back carrying beam emerged, also red and holed from rot.
As this is not something I can do myself, but have to have someone who is professional do, I had to take off the licenseplates, insurance etc - and she is now stranded in my driveway, taunting me... comatosed and lifeless..
my plan is to take her apart as much as at all possible, so I can clean and oil all the parts so the rust stops here, I'm thinking should I take out the motor, brakes, and everything and prepare her for a repaint while im at it?
Over the last years time I've given her a new motor, new propshaft, new driveshafts, new seats, battery and other simple maintainance. and I was about to mount new wheelbearings.
What would you do?
