I can sort out a good windscreen if you want to repair the car

Hmmm, I wouldn't mind the prop-shaft....

I've PM'd Andy and if it can be sorted it will be, but will wait for the pics first. Remember why it was being repaired in the first place.

It's certainly been a bit of a rollercoaster.
It's really very sad... After all that work that went on getting it back on the road
But if it can't be saved at least it will go towards keeping lots of other little pandas on the road for many years to come!

This has not been a good last few days for pandas.

Tell me about it....

Chris muttered under his breath:
No more so than most of the rest of the forumites. I prefer the term 'recycler' myself. Like the vulture I perform a much needed service in re-using parts that are no longer needed by their deceased owners.
I hope PU2 sorts the Panda out but if not I'll help him out financially by purchasing parts from him, assuming he doesn't mind selling them to me.

Hi peeps
below are a couple of pictures - unfortunately they don't really do justice to the real situation, you probably can't see it but the wheel is really badly bent and out of axis, and I just don't have the energy or the time to get it sorted (Alan knows why). No apparent damage to the bodywork, but inside it may be pretty bad.
It's just one of those things...

If 'vultures' are circling then I would be interested in the doors if you do break it
Well if either pu2 or Alan wants to repair the car, i have a windscreen and spare wheel that you can have, and good old Gosforth Autos has a panda in, so you could take off the axle
edit - does the car have mot and tax :chin:

OK firstly... it's not that bad. secondly with the usual resources we can make sure it gets back to where it should be...pu2 said:
Andy the most difficult thing to repeair on a panda is its bodywork... once that starts going it's hard to maintain... components like the engine are much easier as they are put-in-and-out-able.
I can get you a matching wheel no problem. my only worry is the state of the gearbox as the rest is fairly easy to sort. I also have a complete set of front suspension going at the moment as I have bought everything I require to make new, so you can have the used but straight to sort anything warped... I was going to sort this out as soon as I had gotten the MOT sorted. So, this may be even cheaper than the last time.

Excellent Chris, how much for the screen ?... and wheel?
don't even think about it...christopher watson said:

I agree I doubt the gearbox is affected and recon that the wheel probably took most of the brunt, just need to check it out.
What's the screen in the selecta like tony? as we may have a spare one at Andy's as well as all the suspension arms, I would change the front pillar lower arm, tie rod and tie bar
I had thought Andy had gotten rid of it already... if not there should be most of the parts already in his front garden.Alan.D said:
screen was good... small chip right in the middle but it's not going anywhere. I can have that swapped over in about 30 mins no problem. pity it's not the rear as i have a spare one on a box that's super mint.
