How's the bonnet going to close
Oh Gosh poor Panda
I can see it now the strut brace is in place, didn't look close able at first.
Got welder, will fabricate! Fair enough I say. There are loads of reasons why doing what you are to the suspension is a bad idea, but clearly your objectives are not the usual ones.

Oh no, no negative comments, don't worry

Scottyy, although I've never been a fan of what your doing I'll give you 10/10 so far for the body work etc, those rear window panels do look smart the way you've installed them!
Out of interest is she staying the same colour?
