Definitely. That's the trouble with new Panda doors, and even skins, they cost as much as buying a whole car. Panda prices are on the up but there are still too few worth spending that sort of money on.

Where are you getting the skins from? Is it possible to get just a door bottom?? Thats the only bit that really goes, a full skin is uneccessary in most cases. Repairing a door properly without a new skin or any repair panel should not be a problem for any decent panel beater anyway. No point bodging it with filler as you'll only be in the same boat 12 months down the line, repairing it properly wont take that much longer either.

I may have found dirt cheap doors... stupidly cheap doors.
really? i may have a set for (the marbella ones) £30 if the guy over in the cento section can get them for me lol

I can get two doors to me shipped from Italy, is £80 each.
Cost to bodge my doors is £100 each. I'd rather not have fiberglassed doors.

Good work, are they new or good second hand?

A 'friend' on another forum lives in Italy, and he went to a scrapyard. The doors are only 50 euros each. I have to wait until he gets back from holiday, but then he's gonna get them and ship them to me. But, like I said, i'd rather start off with decent doors rather than the bodyshop, trying to fix the inner and outer rust.
He's away until end of August, so it'll be September. Which means I'll have more money to fix even more paintwork.

That sounds like a good plan, your car is worth doing as well as you possibly can.

Is it the worst idea in the world to take the Panda around Europe for 2-3 weeks?
Top of Italy, South of France, Barcelona.

Try justifying it to non-Pandarers.

It does sound like a great idea, whether it will be fun?

The reason they're no Panda's left is because of the Mongol rally,
I know about the American Panda and the African ones... erm. :slayer:The earliest I could do it, is say the last 2 weeks of August-1st week of Sept. I'm missing out the summer weather?
Jim drives them around the world and drives them home again...
The banger rally guys have been banned from here, or given an ear full...
The only reason I'm allowed to stay here after my trip through west Africa is because I did it in a 1990 Nissan micra...

This is a quick route. Apparently Belgium and Luxembourg is better than going through France, getting dysentery is probably better than going through France.
