Don't worry Alan, I'll not scrape a hole in him! A good going over with a wire brush and a gentle scrape to get any loose bits off is all I mean.

Panda 750 Progress
Yes I think I may be doing that this week. Probably just get a spray can or two of waxoil as I've bought the pump previously that always gumms up no matter how well you clean it after
Looking good Steve, are you putting on cinq alloys?
That car has never had it so good!!!

On the subject of waxoyl, are those pressurized tubs and guns worth the extra money?

Sei Sporting 13" alloys Martin. I'm getting them tomorrow, so photos to follow.
Like Alan says, they gunk up easily and it's really really messy. It's one of those jobs that you are better paying someone else to do. I buys the tins and slap it on with a paint brush. If you want to treat the inside of the panels then you would really need to buy the pump system.

No they are impossible to clean properly and faulter after only one or two applications
I did my 126 a few years back and it sort of worked. Cleaned it all then tried to do my Panda recently, and it sort of exploded and wax was everywhere except in the Panda!

I'm envious already!
I'm going to get some new tyres and clean my 2 spare steelies up and restore the Mania back to the original look. Might even go back to orange indicators (instead of clear) for a while.
Look forward to the pics mate

Right, I'll stick to the old brush method and aerosol for little bits here and there. I am thinking about treating the 4x4 to a full pro job this spring but it's not cheap is it...
Steve for dear sake go and get a £10 trolley jack from a motor factors or some place and don't be chancing your arm with that piddly jack. that's just plain dangerous. I've seen the results
If you poke any holes let me know Must sort that door soon to.

Stu, I wouldn't dare crawl under a car with that jack holding it up! I have a trolley jack, axle stands and ramps. I use the ramps if I'm under the car.
You've lost me Tony. I ripped up the front garden ages ago and filled it with stones so I could park a car there.
I think that's exactly what he meant

Hmm i'm concerned!
what have you had happen? Ive allways used axle stands if im going under the car, but i would hope the jack is ok. I think theyre pretty good jacks tbh. quick and easy to use. 
all the best and good luck. Think its great that you are going to keep it as original as possible. Look forward to seeing the pictures as you progress. youre gonna BE a welder when its finished

It IS finished, it passed the mot last June, and Stuartl can take the credit for all the welding.

Splutter got his alloys today, thanks to Mark (Oz Seicento) for selling me them.
I woke up this morning and went out to Splutter to find that he had turned himself into "Van Mode" Knightrider style, he was so excited he couldn't sleep and got himself ready to get his alloys.
So all I had to do was get my helper in the back and set off to Larne, a 50 mile round trip where we had arranged to meet at Jim's work.
The journey was uneventful and I arrived early, so Jim put the kettle on and we waited for Mark. 10 minutes later he turned up, bang on time. We had a mini meet outside the Carphone Warehouse with the parking attendant giving us dirty looks.
Once home I fitted the alloys and they look good, he's like a different car!
A bit different from this time last year when Stuart had just completed the welding!

Steve,
Splutter looks absolutely awesome - he must feel totally 'loved up' now. He is so well cared for!
As you said, a world away from last year.
Well done, wheels really do maketh the car... Take a note out there any of you would be Panda modifiers!!! Leave 'em be!

Cheers Martin, he's looking better than ever now.I don't know though, I reckon the front bumper from the yellow Sei in the photo above would graft on easily enough.
