General new panda project,

[oldhammer]

Hey all
some of you's will know me from over at the punto section, or atleast homeward
does,

My lad has just bought an old panda,that needs some good tlc
so iguess iwill end up doing it all -paying for most of it lol,

this panda is well known here iguess, its been passed around,
its in a right state but iwill get it looking good,


my son has learning difficulties/disabled so this will keep him occupied,
im right miffed at who sold it him tho,
roof rails was in the advert here on the forum if these wasnt going with the car why didnt you say so in the add?
why take them off thats naughty

no one is going to leave roof rails on a 100 quid car, they sell for nearly that on their own

does it say in the add they are not with the car?

 

[dave]

it says the price, i thought they wouldnt be with it when i see the ad price

If he shows roof rails in the photos, then one would assume that these form part of the deal, however for the asking price that might be a stretch too far.

The seller should have made it clear at the outset in the blurb of the listing that they were excluded. Just a little naughty IMO.

I know what you mean though, fair enough if you're taking them off on a car that cheap, but you say you're taking them off in the ad, or take them off before you take the pics.
Still can't be bad for the money though, it's a no loss car, even if it turns out to be a nightmare underneath you'll make the cash back on easy to remove bits without really trying. Good luck with it.

 

[dave]

maybe one of us see the rails swooped in and bought them off him and he forgot to up date the ad? i know i'd have tried to buy them if i had any money

 

[oldhammer]

ah well not too worry,
just holes in the roof to sort now,

ive had a quick look over it, welding wise it isnt going to be a big mission,
tank pipes are off top of tank float assy, retaining bolt snapped, so new one required before iget this up and running,

some ebay trawling later, interior/drivers wing mirror, new shocks springs,

iwill get cylinder head off tomoz and send it in monday for a skim,

in all fairness its pretty solid for the age of it, iwas expecting much worse,

 

[oldhammer]
