Panda The MicroSled

169AXF1A-engined 69 bhp silver metallic '11 registration, having done 250k by now.

Introduction

I found this car sitting at a dealer looking tired, dirty and unloved. Dealer just wanted to get rid of it (useless trade-in vehicle I guess) to make room for his posh new cars.

Now, it's doing the Phoenix rebirth-thing with me operating the tools.

Why the name? Well, I like sleds and this one is indeed small.
Also, I then become 'The MicroSled Driver'. No bad feat for a regular guy on a budget. Check out the link and have a good, heartwarming laugh. If ever there was one who grabbed on to life with both hands and gave it the beans, it must have been Brian Shul; the Sled Driver.

So that's what smoking does to your insides! Yuck. And I thought mine was filthy when I got her :/
I bet your Panda's delighted to have finally found a caring home :)
Car owners come in many shapes and forms. I happen to like that restoration challenge. Others couldn't care less. If you are a Youtube viewer, have a look at what the Detail Geek is experiencing:
