As an ex pro. classic panda restorer ( Iam 76 now, but am still at it hobbywise) I have accumulated a great deal of info. about these cars. ie. shortcuts, work arounds, repair of "non repairable parts", money savers etc and much more. ( I also have the genuine fiat workshop manual).:idea: It would be nice to see a section in the forums devoted to tips & tweaks or Q & A's for serious rebuilders/ repairers who need this type of info., (and who may know some that I do not!) That is unless there is an appropriate section that already covers this.
