Panda (Classic) Suffolk SISLEY 4 x 4

[VmanC]

Good report Jon, but are you sure you didn't look at the spares car by mistake, coz I can't see a sunroof in the one I'm looking at.

 

[PandaMark]

The sunroof is rusted to hell, and on its last legs

Did you mean the 'roofrack'?

 

[Racky-80]

Is a good report and to think some people would probably be tempted to bid 600+ quid without seeing it

Most of those are cosmetic /replacement panels /minor, rather than structural and surely not beyond anyone seriously interested in this type of car?

Thats ok. Also remembered when I walked past our 750L which is minus its rear exhaust bracket at the mo, the the car needs a new rear rubber bracket mount thingy as well.

Might not just be the rubber mount, the rear corssmember might be rotted through.

The mains things I would be concerned about is the sill and the boot floor, the other things aren't really major and could easily be sorted and they wont stop it from passing an MOT (apart from the tyres but thats easily delt with). If you were handy with a welder then it would be quite easy to get it on the road, assuming there are no major mechanical problems.

Roofrack is indeed what I ment. Had sunroof on the brain, trying to figure why this Sisley did't have one as they were standard on the Sisley (according to brouchure)

All at one hell of a cost though! Wrong side of £1k to get that all done and it looking remotly like a daily runner. I've seen some she'd, but I'd go far enough to say that was near scrappage scheme condition, and I'm against the scrappage scheme as much as most members on here.

Was mount (stuck my head under), rear crossmember was about the only solid thing.

Would fail on rear wheel arches as classed as sharp protrustions.

Normally £100 a side, £150 pair with our mechanic

Ahh, thought they usually went there? Out of interest what was the sill like on the other side? Doesnt look too good from the pictures.

Nothing some duct tape wouldn't sort

The other sill wasn't not bad. Been fixed before, but would probably have been ok for this mot

Think the final price for this was £330 or so?

Probably worth that as a project with all those spares?

It sure was.

An expensive price for a set of bull bars
