Hi all, been ages since I posted here..
Well, progress has finally been made on the Panda this week, I've finally got round to attacking it with the welder and got rid of virtually all the rust on the shell itself.
A friends Panda met an unfortunate end at the weekend, his son drove it into the back of another car and the front is pretty well mangled . But I've got hold of the wreckage and will be using the mint(!) doors and boot on my 4x4, as well as some interior and other bits and bobs, so at least some of it will live on...
As for swapping doors, does anyone have a guide for removing the plastic rubbing strips? I've tried giving them a bit of a shove here and there but not much movement and I don't want to break them. Any help greatly received.
Next up will be new wings, easier than patching holes, and then painting all the new bits, (not to mention thorough rustproofing of course...!). Pictures to follow....
