Panda (Classic) My new Panda MK1

[HP]

Not laughing, think it looks good. Wouldn't mind a Panda in good nick myself

Panda springs and shocks are very different to cinqs.

You could take a hacksaw to the current springs (assuming you have a spare set if things go wrong! And are willing to take the risk)

Wouldn't do that myself, proper lowering springs are stiffer, doing this could make the handling dangerously unpredictable.

i found some springs but only have a 35mm drop.I'm looking more for 60mm. i'll put up some more pics when ive done a bit to her. first thing to do is lower it.

laters rich

i'm not sure if i like it or not, it looks well cared for, except for the mesh in the front, and the fact that it's on stilts?

 

[Sammyboy]

What have you done to that poor Panda! The wheels look good but what's with the horrid splitter and stupid exhaust trim! I like the colour though and the condition isn't bad but why chav it up???

BB, it's unlikely that you'll get a reply to your question, as a search on the .gov site for the registration number came up with this Good pics tho

this

Sorry it's timed out. What, the car is out of time

 

[PandaMark]

The form read thus:

VEHICLE ENQUIRY
Services Provided By DVLA:
Vehicle details could not be found
As it has not been possible to locate the vehicle details, your enquiry cannot proceed and has been cancelled.


I'm presuming this means the vehicle is indeed "out of time"! (tho I checked my scrapped mk1 Escort and it came up with the last due date for the tax!)

Normally means one of several things. Cherished plate moved to/from car, car has been exported it.

Basically its been deregistered for some reason. Normally stay registered on DVLA system after scrapped / written off, hence why they say for some cars, date of liability back years back. That was roughly when they were scrapped etc

 

[Pandarus]

As mods go, I think that car was done really tastefully. Hope it's still around

 

[CLXCraig]

front bumper is the best bit imo, and that still needs work.

Does anyone else think the bumpers look colourcoded?

 

[RetroPanda]

Very nice, liking the bumpers matching the rest of the car. Where'd you get the scoop / vents on the bonnet from?

Hint, if you're trawling through old threads for ideas, click on the username of the person you're posting questions for and it'll tell you when they were last on...
The owner of the Panda at the top of this thread was last on the forum March 2007 so probably don't hold your breath for any info from him The vent on the bonnet is a standard factory part I think, a few folks on here have tracked them down. Possibly a Sisley bit??? They had them on but I'm not sure if that's the same design.

 

[Nathan126]

When my dad had his 1000 bought new he was told it was an option on most models

Quite rare to find one for sale these days, trawl the breaking panda's.
I'd actually like one for my Colour

But painted purple.

 

[98cabbie]

looks like a mini range rover

Cheers for that, I must admit I didn't notice how old this thread was

I'll pay more attention to detail in the future, haha...

I love the colour and the wheels are dead on.

Is it not a Mk2 though?
