chop most of the roof out and get a carbon one made up and bonded on:devil:
Are you going to build it back up as right hand drive or left hand drive?
Just curious, from the pics it looks like the engine sits towards the the right side of the car and from what I've seen the right hand drive conversion adds a bit of weight with some chunky bars linking controls.
Would you get much in terms of balance and weight distribution by building it up lhd?
Do you know where everything goes!!! ??? Brave brave job!

Yep!!
The doors and glass go in the dining room. The engine goes on a trolley in the garage, along with all the suspension bits, Oh, and fuel Tank goes in the shed.
Ho I'm not diluting your thread too much Nigel![]()
Some of Johns build is listed on here http://www.nitrane.co.uk/cinquecento/index and John is very receptive to questions about his car and no doubt would give feed back on his Cinq which he competes in on hill climbs so had tight regs to comply with.
I love the use of the word 'aspirations' in there...While the engine is out, i thought i'd mention ... A rotrex C15 http://www.rotrex.com/index1.htm should fit nicely in the space where the air con used to go...
...
Feel free to ignore, it's just one of my aspirations...
Brilliant photos - thanks!Just in case anyone is wondering what their panda looks like with no Dash, here you go. The Dash supporting beam that carries the gearshift and Heater/Aircon, looks mighty heavy!!!!
Passing silly question: on the earlier Pandas, is the inside of the engine bay painted the same colour as the body? Mine is, and I think various under-bonnet shots elsewhere they are too. But all the newer ones seem to be 'yellow' inside (the 'basic' yellow that Fiat don't charge extra for, perhaps?).
